Analysis

What drives eviction risk in City Point

The score leans hardest on economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Hopewell eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Hopewell City County average of 7.1 and above the Virginia statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 506 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 20.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 33.2% of renter households in 2010.

In CDC survey modeling, about 22.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 16.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
