Kent Corner maps to a single census tract in East Providence, RI and houses 1,991 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 57%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a East Providence baseline of 29.6%, 88% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. At $1,497 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of East Providence commands. Court records for this tract carry 10 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #6 of 10 neighborhoods in East Providence. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $88,347.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 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.
