Ridgefield is a one-tract neighborhood of North Ridgeville, OH, population 5,614. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,582, 42% above the North Ridgeville average of $1,116.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 31.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the high side is supply constraint at 8.1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 32% against 26.9% citywide, putting Ridgefield 5.2% over its own city. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 4.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #2 of 7 neighborhoods in North Ridgeville. Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Red Tail and Ridgeville Park. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
