Eastover maps to a single census tract in Suffolk, VA, population 2,073. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Suffolk rate of 33.7%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $1,184 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Suffolk commands. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2/10.
17% 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. Court records for this tract carry 270 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 18.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 15.9% in 2016 against a 18.9% peak. Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Suffolk, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Chuckatuck and Lakeside Park. Against average income of $72,188, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
