Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wanskuck

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $1,753 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Providence commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Court records carry 106 eviction filings across 2 observed years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 7.2% of renter households were served. 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 6.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Providence County average of 5.7 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
