Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.
Average gross rent is $1,114, 18% below the Warwick average of $1,363. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. That places it #1 of 17 neighborhoods in Warwick.
Only 24% 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 $78,382, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
