Deer Park maps to a single census tract in Newport News, VA and houses 2,917 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Against a Newport News baseline of 30.6%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
21% 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. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Newport News, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, North End and Summerlake score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,324, close to the Newport News average.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $61,305.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
