Fall River Eviction Risk: High

Against the Bristol County average of 6.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points. 81% 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 severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $48,750, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Bristol County average of 45.9%. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

SNAP participation runs 25.0% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,353, 17% above the Fall River average.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 137 filings here across 1 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 8.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 8.1% of renter households face a filing.
