Swans Creek maps to a single census tract in Cherry Hill, VA and houses 6,634 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,719, 41% above the Cherry Hill average of $1,931.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 44% against 36.9% citywide, putting Swans Creek 6.8% over its own city. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.
The voucher gap is 17.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 12 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 7.5% of renter households.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Cherry Hill, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 4.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 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.
