Creighton Court Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,814 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

Creighton Court maps to a single census tract in Richmond, VA and houses 3,814 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 45.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $301, 78% below the Richmond average of $1,372. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 57%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against a Richmond baseline of 31.1%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10. Court records for this tract carry 2,842 eviction filings.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. 18.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 61.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 46.0% in 2016 against a 61.7% peak.

Among the 54 mapped neighborhoods of Richmond, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
