Arlington-Basswood Historic District Eviction Risk: High , Lawrence

Against the Essex County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 3.0 points. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.

Food insecurity runs 37.1% against 17.8% nationally. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $60,132, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10.

Against Essex County at 50.7%, 59% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.9/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.5% against 11.3% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #4,119 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.8 points hotter.

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.
