Phoebus is a one-tract suburb of Hampton, VA, population 377. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $2,054, 44% above the Hampton average of $1,427. This is a renter market: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Against a Hampton baseline of 34.1%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 21.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
SNAP participation is 3.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions logged in this tract. 3.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.1/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 2.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #14 of 17 neighborhoods in Hampton. For a like-for-like read, Langley View and Clarkdale score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
