Courthouse Green maps to a single census tract in Newport News, VA, population 4,277. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Newport News rate of 30.6%.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. SNAP participation is 33.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 19.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The filing record is not thin: 2,118 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 45.1% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,222, 9% below the Newport News average of $1,339. That places it #7 of 30 neighborhoods in Newport News.
Judgments average 13.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Beechmont and Hidenwood score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
