24% 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. The dominant input is economic stress at 8.2/10.
SNAP participation is 31.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 17.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure.

Court records for this tract carry 223 eviction filings. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 9.0% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 7.3% in 2016 against a 9.0% peak. That places it #1 of 15 neighborhoods in Providence.
For a like-for-like read, Stimson Avenue Historic District and Providence Jewelry Manufacturing Historic District score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,371, close to the Providence average.
One tract means one number: 8/10 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.
