Bulfinch Triangle Eviction Risk: Elevated , Boston

80% 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. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.1% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Suffolk County average of 7.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. The voucher gap is 14.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.3% against 11.3% nationally. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Boston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 83rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
