Winnapaug maps to a single census tract in Misquamicut, RI and houses 2,024 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
16% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 6 evictions logged in this tract. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households.
3.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. 3.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 2.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
