Glendale Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,755 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Glendale maps to a single census tract in Newport News, VA and houses 4,755 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.2/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs 37% against 30.6% citywide, putting Glendale 6.5% over its own city.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 987 eviction filings.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 37.5% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 20.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,233, 8% below the Newport News average of $1,339.

Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Newport News, it ranks #20 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Richneck and Nelson Place score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $81,813, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.

One tract means one number: 3.2/10 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.
