Highland Park Eviction Risk: Lower , Richmond

Against Richmond City at 50.2%, 36% of renters here are cost-burdened. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.4/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Against the Richmond City average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. The filing record is not thin: 353 evictions over 4 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 46.5% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Richmond. 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 42.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
