Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Quincy Center
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.
This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against Norfolk County at 48.1%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,874, 12% below the Quincy average. 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 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $82,826.
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.
