Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hamlet
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. At $1,405 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Woonsocket commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 94 filings here across 2 tracked years. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7/10.
The worst year on record was 2016, when 6.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 6.3% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #16,571 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.4/10.
