What drives eviction risk in Darlington
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.
It sits 1.2 points below the Providence County average of 5.7. The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.
Court records carry 14 eviction filings across 2 observed years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 4.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 21% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $107,784, annual rent is just 13%.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
