Providence Street Historic District Eviction Risk: High , Worcester

The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. SNAP participation runs 28.0% against 15.2% nationally.

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 7/10. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7/10.

Court records carry 91 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7/10. Filings peaked in 2015 at 6.3% of renter households.

In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing. 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 7.2/10, 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. 46% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $1,477, close to the Worcester average.

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.
