Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Mews
Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. Food insecurity runs 30.8% against 17.8% nationally.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 351 evictions over 4 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 27.0% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 23.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 7.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 51% of renters. It tracks the Richmond City average of 4.3 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,313, close to the Richmond average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $59,021.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
