Riverside is a 3-tract neighborhood of Jacksonville, FL, population 10,339. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 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. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. Against a Jacksonville baseline of 32.8%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $1,155, 21% below the Jacksonville average of $1,465. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.8 to 4.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Court records for this tract carry 796 eviction filings. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 17.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 9.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #7 of 33 neighborhoods in Jacksonville.
For a like-for-like read, LaVilla and South Jacksonville score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $51,883.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 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.
