Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Old Centre Historic District
The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10.
Running cool, economic stress reads 2.7/10. At $1,061 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Winchendon commands.
On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability reads 4.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $100,807, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 48% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
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.
