Riverside is a one-tract neighborhood of Richmond, TX, population 5,500. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.3/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,082, 18% below the Richmond average of $1,319.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 701 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 14.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 3.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 10/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 45% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
