University maps to a single census tract in Riverside, CA, population 5,093. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, High tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Riverside rate of 34.0%.
Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. This is a renter market: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Set annual rent against average household income of $57,833 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 23.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
At $1,783 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Riverside commands. Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Riverside, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Bannockburn Village and Arlington. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
