Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Summer Heights
The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.1 points below the Norfolk County average of 5.6.
Adults with no health insurance runs 2.9% against 11.3% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters. Average gross rent runs $2,708 a month. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $152,214.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
