Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fall River

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Against the Bristol County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $36,484, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Food insecurity runs 34.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Cost burden runs 54% here against 45.9% across Bristol County. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The filing record is not thin: 64 evictions over 1 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 5.3% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
