Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Richmond

83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $740, 19% below the Richmond average.

The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 40% of renters.

It tracks the Madison County average of 3.9 closely.
