Edgewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Newport News, VA and houses 3,525 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 71% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Newport News rate of 30.6%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,780 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Newport News commands. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 88 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 8.7% of renter households.
4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.0% in 2016 against a 8.7% peak.
Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Newport News, it ranks #22 by risk, the lower third. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Beverly Hills and Lakewood Park. Against average income of $149,048, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
