Millville Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,357 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Millville maps to a single census tract in Chesapeake, VA, population 4,357. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 86% 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.

Against a Chesapeake baseline of 33.8%, 86% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

At $1,807 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Chesapeake commands. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.

Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Chesapeake, it ranks #29 by risk, the middle third. Only 10% 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. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
