Middleton is a one-tract neighborhood of Glen Allen, VA, population 2,976. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 26.4% citywide, putting Middleton 33.3% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,471 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Glen Allen commands.

Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.

That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Glen Allen. The closest comparables inside the same city are Laurel West and Laurel Lakes.

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 21% of average household income of $85,840.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3.4/10 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.
