Riverside is a 3-tract neighborhood of Evansville, IN, population 5,779. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Evansville rate of 29.1%.
The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 35%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot is economic stress at 8.5/10. This is a renter market: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. 17.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings are well documented here: 1,676 across 2 observed tracts.
Food insecurity affects 28.1% of adults, 10.3 points above the national rate. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 26.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 6.0% in 2013, is well off that peak.
With little internal variation, 4.6/10 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.
