Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rivergate
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10.
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. SNAP participation runs 5.7% against 15.2% nationally.
Court records carry 113 eviction filings across 5 observed years. Food insecurity runs 10.5% against 17.8% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2012, when 7.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
