Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lunenburg
The score leans hardest on eviction process difficulty at 5.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Worcester County average of 6.0 and below the Massachusetts statewide average of 5.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 20 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 27.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 27.8% of renter households in 2015.
In CDC survey modeling, about 7.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
