Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westcott

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3/10. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $87,328, annual rent is just 18%.

Statewide the RI average is 5.3, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Kent County average of 4.3 closely.

Average gross rent runs $1,297 a month. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
