Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edgewood
It sits 2.3 points above the Providence County average of 5.7. Food insecurity runs 33.1% against 17.8% nationally. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 2.4/10.
The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.
Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. At $1,191 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Providence commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 54 filings here across 2 tracked years.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.9% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
