Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Central Gloucester Historic District

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10.

Average gross rent is $1,098, 22% below the Gloucester average. Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 6.4% against 14.2% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $116,154, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Essex County average of 6.0 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
