Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Milford

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 20.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.3/10. Average gross rent is $2,231, 18% above the Milford average. Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Worcester County average of 5.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.0% against 11.3% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
