Bells Mill Eviction Risk: Lower , Chesapeake

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.6/10.

Average gross rent is $1,929, 22% above the Chesapeake average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 123 filings here across 6 tracked years. The voucher gap is 13.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. Against the Chesapeake City average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 13.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 9.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.8/10.
