1 census tracts · pop 2,206 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

The Addition is a one-tract neighborhood of Burlington, VT, population 2,206. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Cost burden runs 38% against 32.7% citywide, putting The Addition 5.1% over its own city.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Average gross rent is $1,795, 9% above the Burlington average of $1,649. That places it #7 of 7 neighborhoods in Burlington.

For a like-for-like read, Van Patten and Lakewood score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $117,589, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
