Reedy Creek Eviction Risk: Moderate , Richmond

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,550 filings here across 4 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 23.2% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.6 points above the Richmond City average of 4.3. The worst year on record was 2013, when 39.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 32.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Average gross rent is $1,275, close to the Richmond average. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $48,030.

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.
