Cornland Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,271 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Cornland maps to a single census tract in Chesapeake, VA, population 6,271. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Chesapeake baseline of 33.8%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

At $2,021 a month, rents sit 27% over what the rest of Chesapeake commands. The voucher gap is 19.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Court records for this tract carry 68 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 4.8% of renter households. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.

SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate.

Recent filings have not receded much: 3.9% in 2016 against a 4.8% peak.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
