Spring Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated , Somerville

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Middlesex County average of 6.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.1% against 11.3% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 39% of renters.

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.
