Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Phillipsdale
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10.
It sits 0.9 points below the Providence County average of 5.7. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 51 filings here across 2 tracked years. At $1,133 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of East Providence commands.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 6.5% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Pawtucket & Central Falls. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $97,384, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
