The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 22.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 20.3% in 2016 against a 22.4% peak. Among the 55 mapped neighborhoods of Norfolk, it ranks #16 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Algonquin Park and Edgewater. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $46,081.
62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
