Tracking 13,379 properties across Coventry, Rhode Island — a community where the median home dates to 1970 and the oldest to 1700. Every parcel mapped with building characteristics, environmental exposure, hazard risk, and ownership history assembled from 140+ sources.
Coventry is the largest town in Kent County by area, stretching from the suburban neighborhoods near West Warwick westward into increasingly rural land along the Connecticut border. The housing stock is predominantly single-family homes, with construction ranging from older village homes near the center to newer subdivisions in the western sections. Flat River Reservoir and the Pawtuxet River create water features and flood zone exposure.
For property professionals, Coventry's size creates meaningful variation — the eastern sections feel suburban while the western areas are genuinely rural with private wells and septic. The river systems bring flood risk that needs to be evaluated at the parcel level.
