Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

Court records for this tract carry 9 eviction filings. 4.0% 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. Average gross rent is $1,091, 13% below the Wakefield-Peace Dale average of $1,258.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 0.9% of renter households. Judgments average 0.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Rent takes 13% 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. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 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.
