Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Highland Beach
39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Kent County average of 46.6%. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.6/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10. Against the Kent County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Average gross rent is $1,390, close to the Warwick average. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $90,746.
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.
