Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ridgewood
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 255 filings here across 6 tracked years.
44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Clark County average of 39.6%. Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally.
It sits 0.7 points below the Clark County average of 4.2. The worst year on record was 2005, when 9.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
