Highland Eviction Risk: High , Boston

100% 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. The dominant input is local political climate at 8.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.2% against 11.3% nationally. At $2,391 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Boston commands. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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