Eastside Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 11,833 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.7/10 · range 7.2–8

Eastside takes in 2 census tracts of Riverside, CA, population 11,833. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Riverside baseline of 34.0%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.1/10. 26% 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.

At $1,385 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Riverside commands. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

18.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #4 of 30 neighborhoods in Riverside.

For a like-for-like read, Arlington and Riverside Junction score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $75,400. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 7.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
