Algonquin Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Norfolk, VA, population 2,011. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 32.3% citywide, putting Algonquin Park 8.8% over its own city.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 443 evictions logged in this tract. 14.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
SNAP participation is 24.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 65.8% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,169, 12% below the Norfolk average of $1,321.
The most recent observed rate, 37.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 55 mapped neighborhoods of Norfolk, it ranks #16 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $46,746.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 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.
