Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fields at Chestnut
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Against the Hampden County average of 5.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.3 points.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.5/10. The voucher gap is 19.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, supply constraint reads 7/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 13% 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.
Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.7 points cooler.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
