South River Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,579 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Edgewater commands. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 3.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

9% 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. Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Pine Whiff Beach and Oakbluff. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
