Dunedin is a one-tract neighborhood of Chesapeake, VA and houses 6,570 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Chesapeake rate of 33.8%.
Average gross rent is $1,281, 19% below the Chesapeake average of $1,586. The filing record is not thin: 1,831 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 32.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 19.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Chesapeake, it ranks #25 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Tyre Neck Square and Gilmerton score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
