Riverdale Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Greensboro, NC and houses 4,588 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 32% of renter households. Court records for this tract carry 2,346 eviction filings.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.9/10. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
14.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 61.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 49.8% in 2016 against a 61.3% peak.
That places it #23 of 35 neighborhoods in Greensboro. The closest comparables inside the same city are Dellwood Park and Rolling Roads.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,121, close to the Greensboro average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $57,656.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
