Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fall River
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Against the Bristol County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
80% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.
Running hot, economic stress reads 7.8/10. Court records carry 69 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 6.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.3/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
