Bridgeton Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,857 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 4.5–4.5

Bridgeton maps to a single census tract in Pascoag, RI and houses 4,857 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 22.5% citywide, putting Bridgeton 21.5% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.7/10.

The filing record is not thin: 58 evictions logged in this tract. Average gross rent is $1,111, 16% below the Pascoag average of $1,319.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.5% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 2.3% in 2016 against a 3.5% peak. Against average income of $84,754, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
