Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Owen District
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.5/10. 22% 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 1.9 points below the Hampden County average of 5.8.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.9/10.
Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10. Against average income of $95,531, annual rent is just 15%.
Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
