Riverside is a 2-tract neighborhood of Edgemoor, DE and houses 6,988 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 28.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 35.8% of adults, 18.0 points above the national rate. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
18% 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. Average gross rent is $1,110, 23% below the Edgemoor average of $1,438.
Cost burden runs roughly one in three against 28.3% citywide, putting Riverside 6.0% over its own city. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.8 to 5.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Court records for this tract carry 1,117 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 42.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 28.3% in 2018 against a 42.1% peak. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $58,607.
63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
