Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lincoln Square
33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.1/10.
On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Worcester County average of 5.8 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,759, close to the Milford average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $86,840. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
