Kettle Corner maps to a single census tract in Warwick, RI and houses 3,914 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, Moderate tier. Against a Warwick baseline of 31.1%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,023, 25% below the Warwick average of $1,363.
15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Warwick, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Highland Beach and Lakewood. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
