Chatham Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate , Roanoke

SNAP participation runs 32.9% against 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Set annual rent against average income of $41,548 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Food insecurity runs 31.1% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Roanoke City average of 42.8%. At $1,157 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Roanoke commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Roanoke. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Roanoke City average of 4.2 closely. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
