Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fall River

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 18 evictions over 1 years of observation.

Against Bristol County at 45.9%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.6% against 11.3% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 15.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 15.4% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
