Colonial Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Richmond, VA, population 3,376. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Richmond baseline of 31.1%, 17% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $1,860 a month, rents sit 36% over what the rest of Richmond commands. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 3.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Court records for this tract carry 32 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.1% of renter households. 4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Recent filings have not receded much: 3.5% in 2016 against a 3.1% peak. Among the 54 mapped neighborhoods of Richmond, it ranks #44 by risk, the lower third. Only 16% 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.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
