Greenbrier is a one-tract suburb of Chesapeake, VA and houses 6,100 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Chesapeake rate of 33.8%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 1,188 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 35.6% of renter households.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 21.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Chesapeake, it ranks #29 by risk, the middle third. Against average income of $93,993, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,522, close to the Chesapeake average. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
