Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Auburn
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.7/10. Court records carry 41 eviction filings across 2 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 6.7% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best").

In a typical year about 5.5% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.9/10. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $89,222, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Statewide the RI average is 5.3, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters. Average gross rent is $1,328, close to the Cranston average. 33% 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.
