Avendale is a one-tract neighborhood of Roanoke, VA and houses 4,702 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Roanoke baseline of 28.4%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.
Average gross rent is $849, 15% below the Roanoke average of $996. Among the 23 mapped neighborhoods of Roanoke, it ranks #12 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Colonial Trail and Hampden Hills score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $36,346. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 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.
