Hubbard Haven Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 2,773 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.7/10 · range 7.7–7.7

Hubbard Haven maps to a single census tract in Blacksburg, VA and houses 2,773 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 9.5/10.

73% 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. 23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,244 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Blacksburg commands.

Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Blacksburg, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hilltop Plaza and Foxridge.

45% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $53,594.

One tract means one number: 7.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
