Coles is a 2-tract neighborhood of Warwick, RI, population 8,480. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Warwick baseline of 31.1%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. That places it #9 of 17 neighborhoods in Warwick. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $82,823, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.
Average gross rent runs $1,380, close to the Warwick average.
With little internal variation, 4.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
