Sherwood Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Danville, VA, population 3,083. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.9/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Danville baseline of 27.7%, 40% 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. 21.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 20% 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.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
That places it #11 of 15 neighborhoods in Danville. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $867, close to the Danville average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $49,091. 62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
