Shockoe Slip maps to a single census tract in Richmond, VA and houses 2,229 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Richmond rate of 31.1%.
90% 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. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
At $1,711 a month, rents sit 25% over what the rest of Richmond commands. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 3/10. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate. That places it #38 of 54 neighborhoods in Richmond.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Worthington Farms and Chesterfield Court. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $70,651.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
