South Hill Park maps to a single census tract in Christiansburg, VA, population 5,268. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 26.5% citywide, putting South Hill Park 14.9% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Average gross rent is $885, 25% below the Christiansburg average of $1,181. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.
Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Christiansburg, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.
At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Sleepy Hollow and La Plateau score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
