Montyville Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,456 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Montyville is a one-tract neighborhood of Buckhall, VA and houses 6,456 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Buckhall rate of 26.5%.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Court records for this tract carry 12 eviction filings.

10% 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. SNAP participation is 5.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 3.1% of renter households.

That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in Buckhall. Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Blandsford and Bradley Forest. Against average income of $169,093, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $2,496, close to the Buckhall average.

One tract means one number: 3.4/10 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.
