Willimansett Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicopee

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Hampden County average of 46.5%.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.5 points above the Hampden County average of 5.8. SNAP participation runs 26.9% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $992, 14% below the Chicopee average.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Holyoke Chicopee. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10.

Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $51,250.

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