Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Riverside Park

The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10.

SNAP participation runs 23.0% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2010 at 14.9% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
