Runnymede Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,638 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3.3–3.3

Runnymede is a one-tract neighborhood of Rockwood, VA and houses 5,638 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 25% of renter households.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The voucher gap is 25.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,150, 23% above the Rockwood average of $1,744.

On the high side is supply constraint at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 274 eviction filings. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 12.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 11.9% in 2016 against a 12.8% peak.

That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Rockwood. At 17% 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 Qualla Forest and Bexley West.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $106,383.

One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
