Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Phillipsdale
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.9/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. about half of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Providence County average of 43.2%.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 44 filings here across 2 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,379, 14% above the Pawtucket average. Filings peaked in 2015 at 5.3% of renter households.
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 4.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
It tracks the Providence County average of 5.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $73,406.
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.
