Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Skyview Village
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10. Food insecurity runs 29.5% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,968, 20% above the Brockton average.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10.
Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
