Church Green Eviction Risk: Elevated , Boston

Average gross rent is $3,501, 63% above the Boston average. 60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Suffolk County average of 47.0%. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.5/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. The voucher gap is 23.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.1% against 11.3% nationally.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

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