Riverview is a one-tract neighborhood of Norfolk, VA, population 3,535. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 49%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Norfolk rate of 32.3%. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
16.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Court records for this tract carry 697 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

The most recent observed rate, 27.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #8 of 55 neighborhoods in Norfolk. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $53,553.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
