Sky Line Towns maps to a single census tract in Rockwood, VA, population 6,915. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. Against a Rockwood baseline of 27.9%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,436, 18% below the Rockwood average of $1,744.
Court records for this tract carry 609 eviction filings. 11% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 32.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 11.2% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Rockwood, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Runnymede and Qualla Forest score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $83,643.
One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
