Milton Hill Eviction Risk: Lower

At $1,983 a month, rents run 35% over what the rest of Milton commands. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.8 points below the Norfolk County average of 5.6. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10. Against Norfolk County at 48.1%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. Food insecurity runs 8.5% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.3% against 11.3% nationally.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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. Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
