Brookline Village Eviction Risk: High

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 28%. 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.

Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.5% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,517, 11% below the Brookline average.

Nationally it ranks #5,413 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 52% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
