Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Silver Spring
Average gross rent is $1,716, 33% above the East Providence average. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.2/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 54 filings here across 2 tracked years.
The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Providence. 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 2.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Providence County average of 5.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $90,938.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
