23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 33 evictions over 2 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Providence.
