Valley View is a one-tract neighborhood of Groveton, VA, population 6,740. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. This is a renter market: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Cost burden runs 38% against 28.5% citywide, putting Valley View 9.0% over its own city.
The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 904 eviction filings. 18.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 12.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 11.0% in 2016 against a 12.8% peak.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Bucknell Manor and Groveton Heights. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
