Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edgewood

Court records carry 78 eviction filings across 2 observed years. SNAP participation runs 22.9% against 15.2% nationally.
Against the Providence County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Average gross rent is $1,251, 11% below the Providence average.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 6.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Providence.

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.
