Village Green spans 3 census tracts of Newport News, VA and houses 11,845 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 30.6% citywide, putting Village Green 12.8% over its own city.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
19% 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. Average gross rent is $1,617, 21% above the Newport News average of $1,339. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Filings are well documented here: 2,485 across 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 53.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 23.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Newport News, it ranks #15 by risk, the middle third.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $77,439. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
