· range 4.8–4.8
Crystal Lake maps to a single census tract in Chesapeake, VA, population 3,169. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Chesapeake rate of 33.8%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. 14.3% 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. At $1,432 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Chesapeake commands.
That places it #1 of 48 neighborhoods in Chesapeake. Only 6% 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. For a like-for-like read, Mains Creek Park and Parkwood score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $77,574.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
