This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Boston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 23% 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.
Social vulnerability reads 2.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $188,523, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.6 points cooler.
Of its three components the household composition 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.
