Park View is a 2-tract neighborhood of Harrisonburg, VA, population 9,193. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 32% against 28.6% citywide, putting Park View 3.3% over its own city. That places it #5 of 4 neighborhoods in Harrisonburg.
For a like-for-like read, Ridge Area and Preston Heights score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $54,465. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 4.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
