· range 6.5–7.7
River Glen spans 4 census tracts of Springfield, OR, population 12,881. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Springfield baseline of 30.1%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 25% 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. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 6.5 to 7.7. A 1.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Filings are well documented here: 908 across 2 observed tracts. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 14.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Springfield, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Glenwood and Thurston. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,237, close to the Springfield average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
