Barranger is a one-tract neighborhood of Roanoke, VA and houses 3,470 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
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. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 35% against 28.4% citywide, putting Barranger 6.3% over its own city.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 6.2% of adults, 11.6 points below the national rate.
Among the 23 mapped neighborhoods of Roanoke, it ranks #20 by risk, the lower third. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,048, close to the Roanoke average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
