Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 28 evictions over 6 years of observation. It sits 0.6 points below the Suffolk City average of 3.6.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 50.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 27.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10.

Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
