Clopton takes in 2 census tracts of Richmond, VA and houses 4,889 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Richmond baseline of 31.1%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
27% 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. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 24.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
18.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
At $1,142 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Richmond commands. Court records carry 1,221 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 39.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 18.2% in 2016, is well off that peak.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
