Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ridgeview

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. 30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.3/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 120 filings here across 7 tracked years. At $877 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Glen Lyon commands.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 3.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
