Roselawn is a one-tract neighborhood of Richmond, VA, population 4,800. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about one in five against 31.1% citywide, putting Roselawn 11.1% under its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,663, 21% above the Richmond average of $1,372. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions logged in this tract. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 1.4% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 2.7% in 2016 against a 1.4% peak. Among the 54 mapped neighborhoods of Richmond, it ranks #44 by risk, the lower third.
Only 14% 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. For a like-for-like read, Southampton Hills and Stonewall Court score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
