Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 25009252602
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Against the Essex County average of 6.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally.
The voucher gap is 14.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #41,206 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler.
