Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Woodlawn
68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 7.5/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 42 evictions over 2 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.7% of renter households.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Pawtucket & Central Falls. 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 5.0% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7/10. Against average income of $93,889, annual rent is just 15%.
It tracks the Providence County average of 5.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,212, close to the Pawtucket average.
