Sheffield Court is a one-tract neighborhood of Bon Air, VA and houses 4,025 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 16% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly below the Bon Air rate of 28.1%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 26.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running hot is supply constraint at 7.7/10. Average gross rent is $2,169, 21% above the Bon Air average of $1,799. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 76 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. 3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 7.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.4% in 2016 against a 7.8% peak.
That places it #5 of 6 neighborhoods in Bon Air. At 15% 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 Foundry Run and Spring Grove.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
