Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Church Street-Cady Hill Historic District

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10. Against the Berkshire County average of 5.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Court records carry 415 eviction filings across 10 observed years. SNAP participation runs 23.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 6.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
