Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 24.1% of renter households. Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Chesapeake, it ranks #29 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 13.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 6% 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.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
