North Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 13,773 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7.3–7.3

North Hill is a 2-tract neighborhood of Hybla Valley, VA, population 13,773. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Hybla Valley baseline of 29.0%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Court records carry 2,490 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

14.7% 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. SNAP participation is 25.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 35.9% of renter households. Judgments average 4.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

Average gross rent runs $1,705, close to the Hybla Valley average.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
