McBryde Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against a Blacksburg baseline of 44.1%, 15% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $331 a month, rents sit 76% under what the rest of Blacksburg commands.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 9.5/10.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4.9 to 7.7. A 2.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Blacksburg, it ranks #8 by risk, the lower third. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Nicholas Manor and Highland Park.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
