Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fall River
85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. It sits 2.2 points above the Bristol County average of 6.0. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.
The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 27.3% against 15.2% nationally.
39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Bristol County average of 45.9%. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10.
The filing record is not thin: 146 evictions over 1 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 8.9% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 8.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
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.
