VA Hill is a 2-tract neighborhood of Fayetteville, AR and houses 6,779 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Fayetteville baseline of 29.6%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the high side is economic stress at 8.4/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
Average gross rent is $930, 13% below the Fayetteville average of $1,065. That places it #4 of 9 neighborhoods in Fayetteville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Elm-Erstan-Baker and The Cliffs.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $40,984.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
