Hampden Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Roanoke, VA and houses 5,139 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Roanoke baseline of 28.4%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
That places it #14 of 23 neighborhoods in Roanoke. The closest comparables inside the same city are Buena Vista and Ghent. Average gross rent runs $1,022, close to the Roanoke average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $50,957. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
