Shorewood maps to a single census tract in Chesapeake, VA and houses 5,365 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Chesapeake baseline of 33.8%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.
Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Chesapeake, it ranks #12 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Magnolia Chase and West Munden score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,601, close to the Chesapeake average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $84,301. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
