Campostella Square Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,870 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Campostella Square maps to a single census tract in Chesapeake, VA and houses 4,870 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Chesapeake baseline of 33.8%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. 33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 40%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 25.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Disability prevalence reaches 44.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The filing record is not thin: 2,134 evictions logged in this tract.

Average gross rent is $1,337, 16% below the Chesapeake average of $1,586. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 30.4% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 25.6% in 2016 against a 30.4% peak.

One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
