4 census tracts · pop 10,381 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3–3.8

Ginter Park takes in 4 census tracts of Richmond, VA and houses 10,381 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 43%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

68% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Richmond rate of 31.1%. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.

Filings are well documented here: 4,801 across 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10.

At $1,189 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Richmond commands. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 96.9% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate.

Recent filings have not receded much: 85.2% in 2016 against a 96.9% peak. Among the 54 mapped neighborhoods of Richmond, it ranks #40 by risk, the lower third. Against average income of $86,713, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 3.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
