Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brookline
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 217 filings here across 7 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2003, when 8.1% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.6/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
It tracks the Allegheny County average of 5.0 closely.
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.
