Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Atlantic
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8.3/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,915, 10% below the Quincy average.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10.
Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 51% of renters. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $74,408.
