Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Popponesset
The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.9/10. The voucher gap is 48.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.5 points below the Barnstable County average of 4.8. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.1/10.
Cost burden runs 55% here against 48.4% across Barnstable County. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.3% against 11.3% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 5 evictions over 2 years of observation.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2015 at 5.4% of renter households.
In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 13% 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
