Runnymede maps to a single census tract in Newport News, VA and houses 2,363 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,757, 31% above the Newport News average of $1,339. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 144 evictions logged in this tract.
Against a Newport News baseline of 30.6%, about a quarter of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 24.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 11.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #22 of 30 neighborhoods in Newport News.
At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Edgewood and Beverly Hills. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $96,518.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
