Crawford Bay is a one-tract neighborhood of Norfolk, VA, population 5,684. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,755 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Norfolk commands.
This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. 15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 32% of renter households. The filing record is not thin: 186 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 8.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #44 of 55 neighborhoods in Norfolk. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cottage Park and Winona. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $84,848.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
