Fairlawn maps to a single census tract in Pawtucket, RI, population 4,678. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. 22% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Pawtucket rate of 28.0%.
The filing record is not thin: 69 evictions logged in this tract. Severe burden reaches 8%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 5.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.2% in 2016 against a 5.4% peak.
Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Darlington and Woodlawn. Against average income of $92,032, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,146, close to the Pawtucket average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
