Longmeadow Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower

Average gross rent is $3,131, 86% above the Longmeadow average. It sits 2.8 points below the Hampden County average of 5.8. The voucher gap is 109.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10.

Housing insecurity runs 6.2% against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 3% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 2.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 3.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $144,358.
