Peakland Eviction Risk: Lower , Lynchburg

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Food insecurity runs 6.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Lynchburg City average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Housing insecurity runs 5.7% against 14.2% nationally.

Court records carry 281 eviction filings across 4 observed years. The worst year on record was 2013, when 18.3% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 10.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 4.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $87,727, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
