Randolph Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,265 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 4.2–4.2

Randolph is a one-tract neighborhood of Richmond, VA, population 2,265. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Richmond rate of 31.1%.

Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 268 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 24.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 12.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #29 of 54 neighborhoods in Richmond. For a like-for-like read, Shockoe Bottom and The Mews score within a fraction of it.

Average gross rent runs $1,431, close to the Richmond average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $60,714.

38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
