Indian Orchard Eviction Risk: Moderate , Springfield

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.7 points below the Hampden County average of 5.8. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.8/10. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters. Average gross rent runs $1,163 a month.

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.
