Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Clopton
The heaviest input here is economic stress at 6.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Richmond eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Richmond City County average of 6.4 and above the Virginia statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 223 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 20.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 26.5% of renter households in 2013.
In CDC survey modeling, about 30.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 19.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
