It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, in the Elevated tier. 24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent.

Against a Burlington baseline of 32.7%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Burlington, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third.

One tract means one number: 6.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
