Bernon Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated
3 census tracts · pop 9,215 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.3/10 · range 5.6–7.4
Bernon Heights spans 3 census tracts of Woonsocket, RI, population 9,215. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Woonsocket baseline of 29.0%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 5.6 to 7.4. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Court records carry 220 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 10.5% of renter households. At $1,080 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Woonsocket commands. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Woonsocket, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 4.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Globe and Hamlet score within a fraction of it.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
