Laurel West Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

At $1,507 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Glen Allen commands. The filing record is not thin: 17 evictions logged in this tract.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 3.3% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 3.2% in 2016 against a 3.3% peak. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Glen Allen. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Middleton and Laurel Lakes score within a fraction of it. 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 23% of average household income of $78,095.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
