Glen Rock Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,056 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Glen Rock maps to a single census tract in Norfolk, VA, population 3,056. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Norfolk rate of 32.3%.

The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 472 eviction filings.

At $1,518 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Norfolk commands. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 47.4% of renter households. That places it #32 of 55 neighborhoods in Norfolk.

Judgments average 7.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Fox Hall Park and Estabrook Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $70,510. 58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
