Hello. I don't know who the youngest player to be rated is, but my son Joaquin Perkins got his first rating (USCF) at a younger age than Ridit Nimdia, at approximately 3.5 years old. It was a much lower rating, to be sure. But perhaps there is another player who was rated at an even younger age -- I don't know.
