On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $110,644, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the RI average is 5.3, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
