HOLC grade: A: Best

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Talbot Park

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.5/10. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,099, 17% below the Norfolk average.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 567 evictions over 2 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2016, when 40.7% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 34.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

50% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Norfolk City average of 4.1 closely.

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.
