Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sixteen Acres

Against Hampden County at 46.5%, 33% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint 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.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.8/10.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.3/10. Rent consumes only 11% of average household income of $75,637, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
