Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Springfield Street Historic District
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Against the Hampden County average of 5.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. SNAP participation runs 28.4% against 15.2% nationally.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Against Hampden County at 46.5%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Average gross rent is $1,038, 10% below the Chicopee average. 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 #10,320 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.
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.
