Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Riverside

It sits 2.2 points below the Passaic County average of 6.7. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Passaic County average of 49.2%. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 6.9/10. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Bergen Co. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #41,206 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NJ average is 6.0, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,879, close to the Hawthorne average.
