Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Drewrys Bluff

Severe burden reaches 36%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 2.9 points above the Chesterfield County average of 4.2.

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.1/10.

Food insecurity runs 35.2% against 17.8% nationally. This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,040 filings here across 7 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 50.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 35.5% of renter households face a filing.
