Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Buttonwoods

34% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Kent County average of 46.6%. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.

The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Average gross rent is $1,121, 18% below the Warwick average. Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 14% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $113,884, annual rent is just 12%. Statewide the RI average is 5.3, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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. It tracks the Kent County average of 4.3 closely.

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.
