Swansboro maps to a single census tract in Richmond, VA, population 3,136. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Richmond baseline of 31.1%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,288, 6% below the Richmond average of $1,372. That places it #18 of 54 neighborhoods in Richmond.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Reedy Creek and Scott's Addition. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $59,397.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
