This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Pawtucket & Central Falls.

That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
