East Hampton Eviction Risk: Lower

4 census tracts · pop 13,400 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.2–4.4

East Hampton takes in 4 census tracts of Hampton, VA and houses 13,400 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about half against 34.1% citywide, putting East Hampton 13.0% over its own city.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.

At $1,131 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Hampton commands. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 4.4, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Filings are well documented here: 3,523 across 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 62.5% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 31.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #12 of 17 neighborhoods in Hampton. Against average income of $71,525, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
