Nicholas Manor maps to a single census tract in Blacksburg, VA and houses 4,096 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 30% against 44.1% citywide, putting Nicholas Manor 14.1% under its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 9.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 9.4/10. At $919 a month, rents sit 32% under what the rest of Blacksburg commands. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate.
That places it #9 of 9 neighborhoods in Blacksburg. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, McBryde Village and Highland Park score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 8% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 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.
