Riverside Eviction Risk: Moderate
3 census tracts · pop 7,180 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4
Riverside takes in 3 census tracts of Indianapolis, IN and houses 7,180 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Indianapolis rate of 30.4%.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. The poverty rate is 34%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Set annual rent against average household income of $41,653 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Running hot is economic stress at 8.2/10. Food insecurity affects 33.1% of adults, 15.3 points above the national rate. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
SNAP participation is 24.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #1 of 76 neighborhoods in Indianapolis.
For a like-for-like read, North Indianapolis and Historic Ransom Place score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 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.
