Against the Suffolk City average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Running cool, supply constraint reads 3/10.
At $1,355 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Suffolk commands. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $64,329. 62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
