Average gross rent is $1,646, 25% above the Norfolk average of $1,321. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.6. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Court records carry 523 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 33.4% of renter households. That places it #23 of 55 neighborhoods in Norfolk.
Judgments average 3.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Willoughby Beach and River Oaks.
Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $66,169.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
