Fall River Eviction Risk: High

This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against the Bristol County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $31,385 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Food insecurity runs 33.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.2/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 52% here against 45.9% across Bristol County. At $958 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Fall River commands. The filing record is not thin: 69 evictions over 1 years of observation.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

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.
