Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Woodlawn
The severe-burden share is 36%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 38.2% against 15.2% nationally. This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Housing insecurity runs 31.0% against 14.2% nationally. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 2/10.
It sits 1.6 points above the Providence County average of 5.7. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 181 evictions over 2 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2015 at 8.1% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 7.7% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
