Cedar Bluff Eviction Risk: Moderate , Roanoke

This is renter territory: 84% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.4/10. Cost burden runs roughly one in two here against 42.8% across Roanoke City.

It sits 1.2 points above the Roanoke City average of 4.2. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Roanoke. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $924, close to the Roanoke average.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $38,344.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
