Grassfield Eviction Risk: Lower , Chesapeake

Average gross rent is $2,764, 74% above the Chesapeake average. The voucher gap is 63.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. SNAP participation runs 6.8% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Chesapeake City average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 21% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $140,000.
