Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Riverside

Average gross rent is $373, 60% below the Brownsville average. Adults with no health insurance runs 46.0% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 45%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against Cameron County at 42.8%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Disability prevalence runs 51.1% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 79% 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.

Set annual rent against average income of $12,705 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Cameron County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

The filing record is not thin: 18 evictions over 3 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2015 at 1.2% of renter households.
