Squires Glen Eviction Risk: Lower , Newburyport

The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.4/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. SNAP participation runs 6.4% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

At $1,461 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Newburyport commands. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $123,221, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

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.
