Fall River Eviction Risk: High

It sits 2.2 points above the Bristol County average of 6.0. This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. SNAP participation runs 29.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Cost burden runs 55% here against 45.9% across Bristol County. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10.

The filing record is not thin: 48 evictions over 1 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.9% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MA average is 6.2, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
