Court House Hill maps to a single census tract in Lynchburg, VA, population 567. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 96% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Against a Lynchburg baseline of 31.0%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 165 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 23.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $999, 7% below the Lynchburg average of $1,073.
Among the 22 mapped neighborhoods of Lynchburg, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Westend and Lower Rivermont.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $42,270.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 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.
