Kecoughtan takes in 3 census tracts of Hampton, VA and houses 6,287 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Hampton baseline of 34.1%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
74% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
SNAP participation is 28.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 30.5% of adults, 12.7 points above the national rate.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 2,399 across 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 127.6% of renter households. That places it #1 of 17 neighborhoods in Hampton.
Judgments average 12.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
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.
