Brookfield Park maps to a single census tract in Norfolk, VA, population 4,032. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
At $1,638 a month, rents sit 24% over what the rest of Norfolk commands. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Cost burden runs 39% against 32.3% citywide, putting Brookfield Park 7.0% over its own city.
Court records for this tract carry 260 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 34.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 26.0% in 2016 against a 34.3% peak.
That places it #44 of 55 neighborhoods in Norfolk. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $80,396.
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.
