Lenox maps to a single census tract in Norfolk, VA, population 4,250. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Norfolk baseline of 32.3%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records for this tract carry 1,030 eviction filings.
At $1,150 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Norfolk commands. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 53.2% of renter households.
Among the 55 mapped neighborhoods of Norfolk, it ranks #14 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 7.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Oakwood and Brambleton. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
