Raleigh Terrace is a 2-tract neighborhood of Hampton, VA and houses 6,578 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 43% against 34.1% citywide, putting Raleigh Terrace 8.9% over its own city. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.1, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Filings are well documented here: 1,900 across 2 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 59.4% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,279, 10% below the Hampton average of $1,427. The most recent observed rate, 33.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Hampton, it ranks #14 by risk, the lower third.
At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
