Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Social
This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. It sits 2.2 points above the Providence County average of 5.7.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
SNAP participation runs 32.3% against 15.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $28,902, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $826, 29% below the Woonsocket average.
The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Providence County average of 43.2%.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Housing insecurity runs 23.5% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 203 filings here across 2 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 7.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 7.5% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #8,653 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
