Quincy Center Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.3/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

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

Cost burden runs 40% here against 48.1% across Norfolk County. At $2,308 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Quincy commands. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $108,621.

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