The Hummocks Eviction Risk: Moderate

The Hummocks is a one-tract neighborhood of Tiverton, RI and houses 4,745 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

Cost burden runs roughly one in three against 26.2% citywide, putting The Hummocks 5.9% over its own city. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions logged in this tract.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 6.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 3.9% of renter households.

Judgments average 1.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 25% 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 $91,193, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,369, close to the Tiverton average.

One tract means one number: 4/10 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.
