Grants Mills is a one-tract neighborhood of Cumberland Hill, RI and houses 4,175 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,155 a month, rents sit 65% over what the rest of Cumberland Hill commands.
The voucher gap is 33.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10. 21% 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.
On the high side is supply constraint at 8.4/10. Court records for this tract carry 7 eviction filings.
Food insecurity affects 7.3% of adults, 10.5 points below the national rate. 3.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 7.7% of renter households.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 36% of renter households. Judgments average 2.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
