Winona Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,981 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Winona is a one-tract neighborhood of Norfolk, VA and houses 1,981 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Norfolk rate of 32.3%.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. At $1,628 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of Norfolk commands.

Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 83 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 21.0% of renter households. That places it #44 of 55 neighborhoods in Norfolk. Judgments average 5.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Crawford Bay and Cottage Park score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 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.
