Deep Creek Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,335 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Deep Creek maps to a single census tract in Chesapeake, VA and houses 2,335 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 70%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Chesapeake rate of 33.8%. Average gross rent is $2,330, 47% above the Chesapeake average of $1,586. The voucher gap is 37.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 8.7/10.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. That places it #29 of 48 neighborhoods in Chesapeake.

Only 19% 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, Chadswyck and Cornland score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $127,250.

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.
