Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Franklin Town
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10.
It sits 1.7 points below the Norfolk County average of 5.6. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 8.1% against 17.8% nationally.
Adults with no health insurance runs 3.2% against 11.3% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.1/10. At $1,712 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Franklin Town commands.
That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.5/10. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $149,464, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler.
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.
