Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Campostella Heights
SNAP participation runs 47.8% against 15.2% nationally. At $738 a month, rents run 44% under what the rest of Norfolk commands. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10.
78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Disability prevalence runs 45.8% against 31.5% nationally.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
It sits 1.2 points above the Norfolk City average of 4.1. Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.3/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 329 filings here across 2 tracked years. The severe-burden share is 8%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 34.1% of renter households.
