Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pleasant Valley
24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.6/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.
Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 11 filings here across 1 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Worcester County average of 5.8.
Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2015, when 5.1% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 19% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.2/10.
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.
