HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Manton

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. SNAP participation runs 31.8% against 15.2% nationally.

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 8.2/10. 35% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Providence County average of 43.2%. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 223 eviction filings across 2 observed years.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2015, when 9.0% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Providence. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 8.2% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
