Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Village Historic District
The score leans hardest on housing court bias at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Amherst Town eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Hampshire County average of 4.9 and below the Massachusetts statewide average of 5.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 2.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.9% of renter households in 2005.
The tract is White and Asian and ranks around the 32nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
