Groveton Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Groveton, VA, population 3,825. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,885, 59% above the Groveton average of $1,820.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Groveton rate of 28.5%. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
The voucher gap is 24.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Court records for this tract carry 19 eviction filings.
On the high side is supply constraint at 7.5/10. SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 4.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.2% in 2016 against a 4.1% peak. At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Bucknell Manor and Valley View score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
