Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Coolidge Corner
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.3/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Against the Norfolk County average of 5.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. SNAP participation runs 6.4% against 15.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.0% 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 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters. Average gross rent is $2,746, close to the Brookline average.
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.
