Crestwood maps to a single census tract in Chesapeake, VA, population 2,709. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 33.8% citywide, putting Crestwood 22.6% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,248, 21% below the Chesapeake average of $1,586. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Court records for this tract carry 133 eviction filings.
9% 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. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 35.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 10.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Chesapeake, it ranks #24 by risk, the middle third. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Dunedin and Plantation Lakes.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $71,571.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
