Oakland Beach is a one-tract neighborhood of Warwick, RI and houses 4,968 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Warwick rate of 31.1%.
Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. At $1,220 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Warwick commands.
That places it #3 of 17 neighborhoods in Warwick. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $82,520, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
