Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Northampton
What moves this score most is 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 12.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 208 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 11.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 9.8% of renter households in 2016.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
