Haverhill Eviction Risk: Elevated

71% 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 score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. Against the Essex County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10.

SNAP participation runs 24.3% against 15.2% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Haverhill. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #9,927 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 52% of renters.

Average gross rent is $1,593, close to the Haverhill 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.
