Bexley West Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,363 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Bexley West maps to a single census tract in Rockwood, VA, population 2,363. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Rockwood baseline of 27.9%, 16% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 25.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,144, 23% above the Rockwood average of $1,744.

The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.5/10.

Court records for this tract carry 63 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 20.0% of renter households.

5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 9.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Rockwood. Only 8% 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.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Qualla Forest and Runnymede. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
