Wedgemere Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower , Winchester

Against Middlesex County at 43.0%, 31% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.5/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 4 years of observation. Housing insecurity runs 5.9% against 14.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 1.1% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 0.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
