Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sayles Bleachery
Food insecurity runs 43.6% against 17.8% nationally. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.
SNAP participation runs 38.6% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 2.1 points above the Providence County average of 5.7.
This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $46,279, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10.
Court records carry 89 eviction filings across 2 observed years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.6% of renter households.
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.
