Cedar Grove is a one-tract neighborhood of Newport News, VA and houses 5,748 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10. 14% 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. Court records for this tract carry 2,306 eviction filings.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Cost burden runs 34% against 30.6% citywide, putting Cedar Grove 3.5% over its own city. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 52.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 27.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Newport News, it ranks #22 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Edgewood and Beverly Hills score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $80,961, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,308, close to the Newport News average.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
