Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hingham
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.3/10. It sits 1.7 points below the Plymouth County average of 5.2. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10.
SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 15 filings here across 1 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 1.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10.
Against average income of $213,993, annual rent is just 12%.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
