Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenfield

Pulling hardest the other way is court filing pressure at 0.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $36,495 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 78% 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.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10. Cost burden runs 61% here against 50.0% across Franklin County.

It sits 1.9 points above the Franklin County average of 5.9. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. SNAP participation runs 22.8% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
