Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $832, 21% below the Burlington average of $1,051.

Court records for this tract carry 3,933 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Burlington, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 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.
