Plantation Lakes is a one-tract neighborhood of Chesapeake, VA, population 5,292. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
34% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. At $1,425 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Chesapeake commands.
Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Chesapeake, it ranks #23 by risk, the middle third. Only 16% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Tanglewood and College Park. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $84,058.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
