Skyline Area maps to a single census tract in Harrisonburg, VA, population 5,756. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 28.6% citywide, putting Skyline Area 25.1% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 38%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.3/10. This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,286, 9% above the Harrisonburg average of $1,184. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Harrisonburg.
