Harmony Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,157 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Harmony maps to a single census tract in Chepachet, RI, population 5,157. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 27% against 44.2% citywide, putting Harmony 17.2% under its own city.

At $1,269 a month, rents sit 36% over what the rest of Chepachet commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

Court records for this tract carry 14 eviction filings. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 7.4% of renter households. 4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate.

The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. Only 13% 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. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
