New Towne maps to a single census tract in Lynchburg, VA, population 3,203. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. This is a renter market: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 29% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 3/10.
Among the 22 mapped neighborhoods of Lynchburg, it ranks #16 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Beverly Hills and Sandusky. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,108, close to the Lynchburg average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
