· range 5.4–5.4
Brentwood maps to a single census tract in Roanoke, VA and houses 5,753 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. 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.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
around a third of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Roanoke rate of 28.4%. Running hot is economic stress at 7.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,188, 19% above the Roanoke average of $996.
That places it #1 of 23 neighborhoods in Roanoke. The closest comparables inside the same city are Shadeland and Westwood.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $47,651. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
