Northfield is a one-tract neighborhood of Chamberlayne, VA, population 6,016. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 89% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Chamberlayne rate of 29.6%.
Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.9/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,414, 17% above the Chamberlayne average of $1,212. Court records for this tract carry 91 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 17.9% of renter households. Judgments average 5.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $83,660.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
