· range 3.9–6
Westcott takes in 2 census tracts of Warwick, RI, population 8,724. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 31.1% citywide, putting Westcott 18.7% over its own city.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.9 to 6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,241, 9% below the Warwick average of $1,363. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Warwick, it ranks #8 by risk, the middle third.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $73,352. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
