Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Marblehead Neck
Cost burden runs 34% here against 50.7% across Essex County. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 2.4% against 11.3% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.7% against 15.2% nationally.
Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10.
Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $130,261, an unusually wide affordability cushion. 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.
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.
