Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greene Lane Housing

The voucher gap is 40.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 99% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 9.1/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.6/10. At $2,272 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Melville commands.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 31 filings here across 1 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 5.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the RI average is 5.3, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

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.
