The Mews is a one-tract neighborhood of Richmond, VA and houses 2,074 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 31.1% citywide, putting The Mews 19.7% over its own city.
29% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Food insecurity affects 30.8% of adults, 13.0 points above the national rate.
16.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Court records for this tract carry 351 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 27.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 26.8% in 2016 against a 27.0% peak.
That places it #26 of 54 neighborhoods in Richmond. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,313, close to the Richmond average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $59,021.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
