Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beechmont

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

At $1,065 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Newport News commands. SNAP participation runs 25.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 27.8% against 17.8% nationally.

Court records carry 3,160 eviction filings across 5 observed years. The worst year on record was 2013, when 98.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 90.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
