Centerville is a one-tract neighborhood of Hope Valley, RI, population 4,204. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 71% of renter households.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.3/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $813, close to the Hope Valley average. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
