Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2016 at 1.2% of renter households.
In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2/10. Statewide the RI average is 5.3, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
