Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fall River

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 40% here against 45.9% across Bristol County. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions over 1 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 5.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Bristol County average of 6.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $106,875.

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.
