What drives eviction risk in Meadowbrook
This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. At $1,854 a month, rents run 40% over what the rest of Norfolk commands.
Set annual rent against average income of $57,904 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Norfolk City average of 50.4%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.3/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 37 filings here across 2 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.4% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Norfolk. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
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.
