Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Marblehead Neck

The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Cost burden runs 40% here against 50.7% across Essex County.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 4.9% against 14.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $177,031, annual rent is just 13%. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 3.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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