Globe Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 8,582 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.4/10 · range 3.6–7.9

Globe spans 3 census tracts of Woonsocket, RI and houses 8,582 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.4/10, Elevated tier. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.6 to 7.9, a 4.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Woonsocket rate of 29.0%. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Filings are well documented here: 225 across 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 10.2% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Woonsocket, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Bernon Heights and Hamlet score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $71,880, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,179, close to the Woonsocket average.

53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
