What drives eviction risk in Lynn
Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.7/10. At $2,080 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Lynn commands.
Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Saugus. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Essex County average of 6.0 closely.
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.
