Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North End
The heaviest input here is economic stress at 5.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Newport News City County average of 5.8 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 2,236 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 70.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 88.0% of renter households in 2015.
In CDC survey modeling, about 24.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 17.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
