Barnstable Town Eviction Risk: Lower

Against the Barnstable County average of 4.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 15 filings here across 2 tracked years. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.3% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,169, 13% above the Barnstable Town average.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 1.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.8 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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