College Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Chesapeake, VA and houses 5,145 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 20% 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.
28% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Chesapeake rate of 33.8%. The filing record is not thin: 512 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 23.8% of renter households.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 17.5% in 2016 against a 23.8% peak. That places it #21 of 48 neighborhoods in Chesapeake.
At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Tanglewood and River Arch Village.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,573, close to the Chesapeake average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
