Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Jackson Terrace Historic District

Against the Essex County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 3.0 points. Food insecurity runs 53.0% against 17.8% nationally.

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $38,316, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

90% 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. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against Essex County at 50.7%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.8/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.9% against 11.3% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.2/10. At $1,382 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Lawrence commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, 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.
