Clarendon Hills Eviction Risk: High , Boston

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. SNAP participation runs 33.5% against 15.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $59,861, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Average gross rent is $1,663, 23% below the Boston average. Food insecurity runs 28.0% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 317 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

Against the Suffolk County average of 7.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2014, when 11.9% 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.

In a typical year about 8.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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