Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Big Bethel
The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 4.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Hampton eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Hampton City County average of 4.9 and below the Virginia statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 14.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,702 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 44.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 52.6% of renter households in 2012.
