Rhode Island is divided into five counties. In each of those counties, we map the number of eviction filings over the past 12 months. If you toggle below you can see these numbers as eviction filing rates—the number of eviction filings divided by the number of renter households in the area—or compared to the typical number of filings in 2023–2024 (the “baseline”).1 2
