Clarkdale Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 8,363 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Clarkdale is a 2-tract neighborhood of Hampton, VA and houses 8,363 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Hampton rate of 34.1%. Average gross rent is $1,665, 17% above the Hampton average of $1,427.

The filing record is not thin: 732 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 58.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 18.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #14 of 17 neighborhoods in Hampton. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Langley View and Phoebus. Against average income of $100,328, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.

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.
