Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Newport
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,102, 35% below the Newport average.
It sits 1.8 points above the Newport County average of 6.2. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 80 filings here across 1 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 6.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 6.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
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.
