Stillmanville Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 12,514 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4–5.8

Stillmanville is a 2-tract neighborhood of Westerly, RI, population 12,514. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Westerly rate of 28.6%.

The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.8/10.

The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4 to 5.8, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.

Filings are well documented here: 167 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.8% of renter households.

Judgments average 2.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mechanic Street Historic District and Dunns Corners.

Rent takes 18% 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 $1,188, close to the Westerly average.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
