What drives eviction risk in West Munden
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.5/10.
Court records carry 644 eviction filings across 6 observed years. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,392, 12% below the Chesapeake average. Against the Chesapeake City average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 22.1% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Norfolk. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 20.4% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
