Fisher Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated , Brookline

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10. Food insecurity runs 5.1% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 4.9% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.7 points above the Norfolk County average of 5.6.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Brookline. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $242,452, annual rent is just 14%.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
