1 census tracts · pop 2,121 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,679, 27% above the Norfolk average of $1,321.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.9% of renter households. 4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Among the 55 mapped neighborhoods of Norfolk, it ranks #44 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Against average income of $104,728, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
