Ridgewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Carnelian Bay, CA, population 1,482. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. The voucher gap is 44.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
36% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 9.4/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Food insecurity affects 5.0% of adults, 12.8 points below the national rate. 3.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for about half of renter households.
At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $3,182, close to the Carnelian Bay average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $147,000.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
