Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Social
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. At $1,557 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Woonsocket commands.
This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against the Providence County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.
12% 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: 94 evictions over 2 years of observation. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7/10.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 7.5% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Woonsocket. 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 7.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
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.
