What drives eviction risk in Huron Village
The dominant input is local political climate at 9/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
82% 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. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $95,714, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 8.5/10.
Cost burden runs 50% here against 43.0% across Middlesex County. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 100th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.8/10. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 3.7 points hotter.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
