Cambridge Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 136 evictions over 11 years of observation. Average gross rent is $703, 11% below the Cambridge average.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 2.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $56,132, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Guernsey County average of 4.0 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
