Shadeland maps to a single census tract in Roanoke, VA and houses 3,401 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $534, 46% below the Roanoke average of $996.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 44%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
SNAP participation is 42.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Roanoke rate of 28.4%. 83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10. Food insecurity affects 39.5% of adults, 21.7 points above the national rate. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. That places it #1 of 23 neighborhoods in Roanoke.
For a like-for-like read, Brentwood and Westwood score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
