Forest Hills maps to a single census tract in Danville, VA, population 3,463. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Danville baseline of 27.7%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. At $980 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Danville commands. The voucher gap is 15.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Danville, it ranks #15 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Fox Hollow and Green Acres score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $74,568, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
