Riverside Eviction Risk: Moderate

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. At $768 a month, rents run 27% under what the rest of Riverside commands.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Montgomery County average of 4.2.

The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. SNAP participation runs 24.1% against 15.2% nationally. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 861 evictions over 17 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2008, when 4.7% of renter households were served.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
