The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. This is a renter market: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 30.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Food insecurity affects 30.0% of adults, 12.2 points above the national rate.
Filings are well documented here: 423 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 7.5% of renter households. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7/10.
That places it #2 of 5 neighborhoods in Woonsocket. Judgments average 5.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Waterford and Hamlet.
With little internal variation, 7.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
