Westover Hills maps to a single census tract in Richmond, VA, population 2,698. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 34% 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 clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 41% against 31.1% citywide, putting Westover Hills 9.4% over its own city.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 101 eviction filings.
Food insecurity affects 7.7% of adults, 10.1 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 16.3% of renter households.
At $1,505 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Richmond commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 13.3% in 2016 against a 16.3% peak.
Among the 54 mapped neighborhoods of Richmond, it ranks #44 by risk, the lower third. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
