Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Prattville
Against the Middlesex County average of 6.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.
74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10. SNAP participation runs 28.9% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 309 filings here across 5 tracked years.
At $1,827 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Everett commands. Filings peaked in 2012 at 7.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Malden. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 6.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #5,413 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
