Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Darlington
31% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Providence County average of 43.2%. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 2.2/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 43 eviction filings across 2 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2016, when 5.0% of renter households were served. 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 4.2% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $79,861, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the RI average is 5.3, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Providence County average of 5.7 closely.
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.
