Sayles Bleachery takes in 3 census tracts of Central Falls, RI and houses 16,147 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Central Falls baseline of 32.6%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.7 to 8.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 23% 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.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. SNAP participation is 34.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.
21.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 269 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,075, 10% below the Central Falls average of $1,200. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.0% in 2016 against a 4.9% peak.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.1 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.
