Greene Lane Housing spans 2 census tracts of Melville, RI and houses 4,677 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, Elevated tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Melville rate of 31.7%.
30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.
At $1,873 a month, rents sit 31% under what the rest of Melville commands. This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.3 to 7.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The voucher gap is 16.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filings are well documented here: 40 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 5.7% of renter households.
Judgments average 0.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $86,136.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
