Wollaston Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , Quincy

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

Against the Norfolk County average of 5.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,882 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Quincy commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Quincy. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $102,016.

40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
