North Leominster Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 11,240 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 4.6–6.5

North Leominster is a 3-tract neighborhood of Leominster, MA and houses 11,240 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 29.6% citywide, putting North Leominster 22.8% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.6 to 6.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 47 across 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 7.3% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,271, 6% below the Leominster average of $1,354. Judgments average 2.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are West Leominster and Monument Square Historic District.

Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
