Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Walpole
Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is economic stress at 2.2/10.
It sits 1.2 points below the Norfolk County average of 5.6. At $2,576 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Walpole commands.
Food insecurity runs 7.9% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.1/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 3.1% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% 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 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $131,861.
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.
