Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Windsor Court Historic District

Against Worcester County at 44.4%, 65% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $33,779, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
