Weaver Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

Against a Roanoke baseline of 28.4%, around a third of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. SNAP participation is 5.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Average gross rent is $925, 7% below the Roanoke average of $996. Among the 23 mapped neighborhoods of Roanoke, it ranks #20 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Virginia Heights and Chestnut Hills score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
