Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Riverside

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $589 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of Brownsville commands.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. 76% 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.

33% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Cameron County average of 42.8%. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 45.0% against 31.5% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 23 evictions over 3 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points above the Cameron County average of 3.9.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 3.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
