Tarrallton Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 7,376 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3–4.7

Tarrallton is a 3-tract neighborhood of Norfolk, VA, population 7,376. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. Against a Norfolk baseline of 32.3%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.7, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Filings are well documented here: 790 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 39.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 16.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #32 of 55 neighborhoods in Norfolk. For a like-for-like read, Glen Rock and Fox Hall Park score within a fraction of it.

Average gross rent runs $1,384, close to the Norfolk average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $71,167. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
