Riverside Eviction Risk: Elevated , Paterson

The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Paterson eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Passaic County average of 6.9 and above the New Jersey statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 28.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 16.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton eviction risk's Eviction Lab logged 1,185 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 22.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 24.5% of renter households in 2015.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
