Riveridge Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 9,716 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10 · range 6.7–7.3

Riveridge spans 2 census tracts of Vancouver, WA, population 9,716. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7/10, in the Elevated tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Vancouver rate of 31.8%.

The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Filings are well documented here: 353 across 2 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 3.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.4% in 2018 against a 3.6% peak. That places it #24 of 39 neighborhoods in Vancouver.

The closest comparables inside the same city are South Cliff and Lincoln. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,729, close to the Vancouver average.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $83,818. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
