Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sheffield Plain Historic District
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.4/10.
Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 62 evictions over 10 years of observation. Cost burden runs 51% here against 46.7% across Berkshire County.
Adults with no health insurance runs 4.0% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2012, when 5.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 24% 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.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $83,889, 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.
