Cherokee Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Richmond, VA, population 4,062. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Cost burden runs about one in five against 31.1% citywide, putting Cherokee Hills 10.2% under its own city. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 200 evictions logged in this tract.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 5.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 23.4% of renter households.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. That places it #44 of 54 neighborhoods in Richmond.
Judgments average 4.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Stonewall Court and Southampton Hills score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
