Lower Rivermont maps to a single census tract in Lynchburg, VA and houses 2,923 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 31.0% citywide, putting Lower Rivermont 13.5% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
Average gross rent is $813, 24% below the Lynchburg average of $1,073. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Court records for this tract carry 588 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 20.9% of renter households.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. That places it #8 of 22 neighborhoods in Lynchburg.
Judgments average 10.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Court House Hill and Cornerstone.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $42,750.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
