Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oaklawn
It sits 2.2 points below the Providence County average of 5.7. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 7.5/10.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 8 filings here across 2 tracked years.
9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,564 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Cranston commands. The worst year on record was 2016, when 4.8% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the RI average is 5.3, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
