Analysis

What drives eviction risk in River Edge Public Plaza

98% 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. The dominant input is economic stress at 8.8/10. Against the Lane County average of 6.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points.

The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $37,067, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $999, 29% below the Eugene average.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Cost burden runs 53% here against 46.2% across Lane County. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 514 filings here across 16 tracked years.
