West Yarmouth Eviction Risk: Elevated

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

It sits 1.2 points above the Barnstable County average of 4.8. Court records carry 46 eviction filings across 2 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least 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.
