River East Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 5,424 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

River East spans 2 census tracts of Toledo, OH and houses 5,424 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. 41% 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.

Cost burden runs 56% against 28.4% citywide, putting River East 27.4% over its own city. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $517 a month, rents sit 43% under what the rest of Toledo commands.

The dominant input is economic stress at 8.7/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 45.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Court records for this tract carry 1,988 eviction filings. 18.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 22.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 16.2% in 2018 against a 22.9% peak. Among the 45 mapped neighborhoods of Toledo, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Roosevelt and Uptown score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
