Parkwood maps to a single census tract in Chesapeake, VA, population 5,352. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 64% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Chesapeake rate of 33.8%.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $1,126 a month, rents sit 29% under what the rest of Chesapeake commands.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records for this tract carry 2,715 eviction filings.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 29.1% of adults, 11.3 points above the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 43.5% of renter households. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.
Recent filings have not receded much: 37.6% in 2016 against a 43.5% peak. That places it #1 of 48 neighborhoods in Chesapeake.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
