Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mills Village
The score leans hardest on eviction process difficulty at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Barnstable Town eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Barnstable County average of 5.5 and below the Massachusetts statewide average of 5.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 30th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 9 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 4.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.0% of renter households in 2016.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
