What drives eviction risk in Whitehall
The voucher gap is 29.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
On the high side, supply constraint reads 8/10. 38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Newport County average of 45.1%.
Food insecurity runs 6.3% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Newport County average of 6.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 8 filings here across 1 tracked years.
Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,096, 12% above the Newport East average. The worst year on record was 2016, when 1.0% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
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.
