Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Village Historic District

The heaviest input here is 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 134 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 1.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.2% of renter households in 2013.

In CDC survey modeling, about 8.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
