Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Woodlawn

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.9/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 62 evictions over 2 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 17.7% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Providence. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 12.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.4/10. Against average income of $77,450, annual rent is just 17%.

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.
