Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Redwood Hills

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. At $1,744 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Worcester commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 47 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7/10. Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
