Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Norwood
Against Norfolk County at 48.1%, 70% of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Against the Norfolk County average of 5.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points.
Set annual rent against average income of $71,715 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.1/10. That is riskier than roughly 90% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7/10.
Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
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.
