Chesterfield Court is a one-tract neighborhood of Richmond, VA and houses 2,637 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 72% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Richmond rate of 31.1%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.4/10. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 170 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 25.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 16.5% of renter households. 18.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Recent filings have not receded much: 13.7% in 2016 against a 16.5% peak.
That places it #35 of 54 neighborhoods in Richmond. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,392, close to the Richmond average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $56,406.
29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 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.
