Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Riverside
The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 2.7 points above the Dauphin County average of 4.6.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.7/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against Dauphin County at 39.0%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 988 filings here across 6 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2003, when 37.5% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 28.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
