Kanawha Trace maps to a single census tract in Richmond, VA, population 1,324. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,820, 33% above the Richmond average of $1,372.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Cost burden runs about a quarter against 31.1% citywide, putting Kanawha Trace 5.1% under its own city.
The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 9.4% of renter households.
Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 3.7% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #44 of 54 neighborhoods in Richmond. Only 13% 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. Against average income of $126,042, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
