What drives eviction risk in Newport
100% 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. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $65,625, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.4/10.
Against the Newport County average of 6.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Newport County average of 45.1%.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions over 1 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 7.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 7.5% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 91st 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.
