Ridgewood maps to a single census tract in Springfield, OH, population 4,599. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Springfield baseline of 28.0%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.2/10.
The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 255 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 9.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2018, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $790, 7% below the Springfield average of $851.
Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Springfield, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
