River Edge Public Plaza Eviction Risk: Elevated

62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Eugene rate of 35.1%. The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Scores across the 7 constituent tracts range from 5.6 to 8.4. A 2.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

79% 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. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

Filings are well documented here: 862 across 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 4.5% of renter households. At $1,293 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Eugene commands.

That places it #3 of 8 neighborhoods in Eugene.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
