Eden Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,615 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 4.5–4.5

Eden Park maps to a single census tract in Roanoke, VA and houses 4,615 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Roanoke rate of 28.4%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $1,243 a month, rents sit 25% over what the rest of Roanoke commands.

The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 25.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 26.6% of adults, 8.8 points above the national rate. That places it #9 of 23 neighborhoods in Roanoke.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 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.
