Silverwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Chesapeake, VA and houses 4,535 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Chesapeake rate of 33.8%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
10% 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. SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate.
At $1,775 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Chesapeake commands. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. That places it #29 of 48 neighborhoods in Chesapeake.
At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Forest Hills and Cornland score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $97,611.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
