Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Potowomut
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Against Kent County at 46.6%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 8.2% against 17.8% nationally.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally.
On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 19% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
