Westwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.

21.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $715 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Roanoke commands. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

67% 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. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Disability prevalence reaches 43.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.3/10. Among the 23 mapped neighborhoods of Roanoke, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Brentwood and Shadeland. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
