Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fall River
60% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Bristol County average of 45.9%. It sits 2.2 points above the Bristol County average of 6.0. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.
17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10.
Average gross rent is $970, 16% below the Fall River average. The filing record is not thin: 28 evictions over 1 years of observation.
SNAP participation runs 22.8% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2016, when 3.3% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.1/10.
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.
