Sockanosset maps to a single census tract in Cranston, RI and houses 3,110 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 28.8% citywide, putting Sockanosset 26.5% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 33 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.4% of renter households. That places it #8 of 10 neighborhoods in Cranston. Judgments average 1.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Pocasset and Knightsville. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,435, close to the Cranston average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $75,104.
39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.8/10 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.
