What drives eviction risk in Highland Park
37% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.4/10.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 628 evictions over 4 years of observation.
Average gross rent is $1,181, 14% below the Richmond average. The worst year on record was 2016, when 40.9% 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 35.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least 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.
