Woodland Terrace takes in 2 census tracts of Chesapeake, VA and houses 4,547 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 23% against 33.8% citywide, putting Woodland Terrace 11.3% under its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,200, 24% below the Chesapeake average of $1,586. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Chesapeake, it ranks #17 by risk, the middle third.
At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Oak Bridge Forest and South Hill. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
