Guilford is a 2-tract neighborhood of Rose Hill, VA, population 5,582. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Rose Hill baseline of 49.9%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 17.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 147 across 2 observed tracts. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.6/10.
Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 5.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 7.7% of renter households. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Rose Hill.
Judgments average 1.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
