Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ware Center Historic District

Pulling hardest the other way is court filing pressure at 0.6/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 381 filings here across 12 tracked years. Against Hampshire County at 46.3%, 42% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Average gross rent is $1,142, 10% above the Ware average. Filings peaked in 2012 at 12.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 7.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $93,274, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
