Gilpin Court is a one-tract neighborhood of Richmond, VA and houses 2,685 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. 44.9% 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.
At $386 a month, rents sit 72% under what the rest of Richmond commands. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 59%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 77.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 100% 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.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Richmond rate of 31.1%. 17% 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.
Court records for this tract carry 1,525 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 40.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 33.9% in 2016 against a 40.0% peak.
Among the 54 mapped neighborhoods of Richmond, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 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.
