Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Weir Village
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.1/10. 78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. SNAP participation runs 31.2% against 15.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $989, 25% below the Taunton average. It sits 1.5 points above the Bristol County average of 6.0. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.7/10.
The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against Bristol County at 45.9%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.2/10. Court records carry 114 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Food insecurity runs 25.0% against 17.8% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 6.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
