Reeveston is a 4-tract neighborhood of Richmond, IN, population 16,834. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Richmond rate of 31.6%.
Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.4/10.
14.4% 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. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Against average income of $49,769, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $795, close to the Richmond average.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 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.
