Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bridgham-Arch-Wilson Street Historic District
83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.9/10.
The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Average gross rent is $1,116, 21% below the Providence average. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.2% against 11.3% nationally.
Court records carry 126 eviction filings across 2 observed years. Against Providence County at 43.2%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. The worst year on record was 2015, when 6.6% of renter households were served.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
