West Leominster maps to a single census tract in Leominster, MA, population 5,800. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.
20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,127, 17% below the Leominster average of $1,354. Court records for this tract carry 61 eviction filings.
Against a Leominster baseline of 29.6%, around a third of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 4.4% of renter households. Judgments average 1.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are North Leominster and Monument Square Historic District. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
