4 census tracts · pop 18,099 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.8/10
· range 5.9–8
Dyerville spans 4 census tracts of Providence, RI, population 18,099. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Providence rate of 29.2%.
The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.9 to 8, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. 22% 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.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.
16.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings are well documented here: 567 across 3 observed tracts.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. At $1,217 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Providence commands. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 12.7% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 7.8% in 2016 against a 12.7% peak. That places it #10 of 15 neighborhoods in Providence. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
