Elmwood Eviction Risk: Moderate , Providence

At $928 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Cranston commands. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Against the Providence County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 83 evictions over 2 years of observation.

Running cool, economic stress reads 3.1/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when 4.5% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Providence. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $66,726, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
