Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Massachusetts Avenue Historic District
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Average gross rent is $1,957, 32% above the Worcester average. On the high side, local political climate reads 7/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 8 filings here across 1 tracked years. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.3% against 11.3% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 7/10.
Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2015, when 3.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 22% 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.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
