Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Hill Park
Against the Montgomery County average of 5.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.1 points. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
At $885 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Christiansburg commands. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. Food insecurity runs 8.5% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.9/10.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $94,514, annual rent is just 11%. Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
