Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Four Corners
The score leans hardest on eviction process difficulty at 5.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Middlesex County average of 5.2 and below the Massachusetts statewide average of 5.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 73 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 2.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.5% of renter households in 2013.
