Lower Allston Eviction Risk: High , Boston

The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $81,853, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.

13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 0.9 points above the Suffolk County average of 7.9.

Average gross rent is $2,346, 9% above the Boston average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
