West Greenville is a one-tract neighborhood of Greenville, RI, population 4,658. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 32% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Greenville rate of 51.0%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $913, 28% below the Greenville average of $1,264.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.5/10. 15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 5 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 0.9% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate.
4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Judgments average 0.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
