Peck Corner maps to a single census tract in East Providence, RI, population 4,231. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the East Providence rate of 29.6%. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Court records for this tract carry 20 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 4.4% of renter households.
At $1,144 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of East Providence commands. The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #10 of 10 neighborhoods in East Providence. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, East Providence Center and Phillipsdale score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $109,500, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
