Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pocasset
At $991 a month, rents run 44% over what the rest of Pocasset commands. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.2/10. The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10.
The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions over 2 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.2% against 11.3% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 6.6% against 14.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 23% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.9/10.
Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $97,452, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
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.
