Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 25009262100
Against Essex County at 50.7%, 61% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.1/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 0.9 points below the Essex County average of 6.0.
Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.5% against 11.3% nationally.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 21% 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. Social vulnerability reads 2.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $116,477, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.
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.
