Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 25021456101
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.9/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Brockton. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 10% 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.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Norfolk County average of 5.6 closely. Average gross rent runs $2,331 a month.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $110,952.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
