Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Whitinsville Historic District

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 53 evictions over 1 years of observation. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.9/10.

It sits 0.6 points above the Worcester County average of 5.8. The worst year on record was 2015, when 4.9% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $86,569, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
