West Munden spans 3 census tracts of Chesapeake, VA and houses 10,179 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Chesapeake rate of 33.8%. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.5/10.

Court records carry 2,062 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 26.4% of renter households.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,401, 12% below the Chesapeake average of $1,586. Recent filings have not receded much: 23.4% in 2016 against a 26.4% peak.

That places it #12 of 48 neighborhoods in Chesapeake. For a like-for-like read, Magnolia Chase and Shorewood score within a fraction of it. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $73,121. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
