Cedar Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,578 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

Cedar Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Belmont, VA, population 4,578. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Belmont rate of 25.7%.

At $3,501 a month, rents sit 24% over what the rest of Belmont commands. Disability prevalence reaches 19.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.8/10.

4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At 5% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Belmont Greene and The Hunt At Belmont Country Club. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
