Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Summer Street Historic District

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,146, 24% above the Adams average.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 128 filings here across 10 tracked years. Against the Berkshire County average of 5.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 11.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 19% 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 3.8/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
