Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Auburn
30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 7.5/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.5/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 52 eviction filings across 2 observed years.
Average gross rent is $1,213, 12% below the Cranston average. Against the Providence County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. The worst year on record was 2016, when 3.8% 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 4.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $81,971, annual rent is just 18%. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
