Buzzards Bay Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 39% here against 48.4% across Barnstable County. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,213, 18% below the Buzzards Bay average.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 20 evictions over 2 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 2.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 24% 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 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
