What drives eviction risk in Audubon Circle
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10. Against Norfolk County at 48.1%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally. 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.
That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $2,737, close to the Brookline average.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $105,083. 65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
