Foxridge maps to a single census tract in Blacksburg, VA, population 6,250. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 42%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $34,423 and the ratio lands at 50%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 9.5/10. 81% 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. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Blacksburg rate of 44.1%.
The voucher gap is 16.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #1 of 9 neighborhoods in Blacksburg. For a like-for-like read, Hilltop Plaza and University Terrace score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,428, close to the Blacksburg average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
