Mount Bowdoin Eviction Risk: High , Boston

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. 84% 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. Food insecurity runs 35.1% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Housing insecurity runs 29.6% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. It sits 1.6 points above the Suffolk County average of 7.9.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Cost burden runs 40% here against 47.0% across Suffolk County.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 370 filings here across 5 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 13.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

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.
