Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kimball Towers and Court

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.4/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.2/10. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $2,091, close to the Woburn average.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $92,340. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
