Allston Village Eviction Risk: High , Boston

92% 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. The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $78,778 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Cost burden runs 56% here against 47.0% across Suffolk County.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.1% against 31.5% nationally.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 192 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

Against the Suffolk County average of 7.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,348, 9% above the Boston average. The worst year on record was 2013, when 3.0% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Brookline. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

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.
