Camellia Shores spans 3 census tracts of Norfolk, VA, population 9,107. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Norfolk rate of 32.3%.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.2/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.3, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Court records carry 1,141 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
At $1,521 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Norfolk commands. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 54.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 20.2% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #41 of 55 neighborhoods in Norfolk. The closest comparables inside the same city are Elizabeth Park and Brentwood. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $77,631.
55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 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.
