Museum District Eviction Risk: Lower , Richmond

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against Richmond City at 50.2%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.4/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Food insecurity runs 6.9% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Richmond City average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 201 filings here across 4 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2013, when 10.0% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 5.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

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.
