Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 25017314302
90% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Middlesex County average of 43.0%. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10.
Against the Middlesex County average of 6.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.3/10.
Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions over 5 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.6% against 11.3% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 5.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 5% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.5/10.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
