34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Roanoke rate of 28.4%. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. At $857 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Roanoke commands.
Among the 23 mapped neighborhoods of Roanoke, it ranks #6 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cedar Bluff and Parkview Court.

One tract means one number: 4.7/10 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.
