Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gloucester

The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.6/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10.

Food insecurity runs 8.7% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.5% against 11.3% nationally. Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $116,458, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Essex County average of 6.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,518, close to the Gloucester average.

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.
