Riverside Eviction Risk: High

Cost burden runs 55% against 35.6% citywide, putting Riverside 19.3% over its own city. The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 70% 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.

Food insecurity affects 37.1% of adults, 19.3 points above the national rate. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.

The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 12,409 eviction filings across its 11 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 25.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 49.2% of renter households. Judgments average 0.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,558, close to the Paterson average.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $59,498.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 4.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
