Riverview Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,788 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

Riverview maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH, population 3,788. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 97% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Cost burden runs 39% against 28.8% citywide, putting Riverview 10.3% over its own city. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side is economic stress at 7.7/10.

Average gross rent is $1,054, 19% below the Columbus average of $1,295. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 332 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 1.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2015, is well off that peak.

Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Tuttle Park and Eastwood Heights. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $45,531.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
