Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairlawn
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 69 filings here across 2 tracked years. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Providence County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 5.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.9/10.
Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $92,032, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
