Barnstable Town Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Food insecurity runs 6.0% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.7/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.7% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Barnstable County average of 4.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 10 filings here across 2 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 3.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 6% 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 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
