East Norview Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,849 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3

East Norview is a one-tract neighborhood of Norfolk, VA, population 4,849. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 41% 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.

roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Norfolk rate of 32.3%. Set annual rent against average household income of $41,222 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

SNAP participation is 27.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 1,341 evictions logged in this tract.

Food insecurity affects 28.6% of adults, 10.8 points above the national rate. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 57.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 30.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 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.
