Forest Glen Terrace Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,496 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3.1–3.1

Forest Glen Terrace is a one-tract neighborhood of Suffolk, VA, population 3,496. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,285, 18% below the Suffolk average of $1,563.

The filing record is not thin: 113 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Against a Suffolk baseline of 33.7%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 12.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 9.9% in 2016 against a 12.3% peak.

That places it #15 of 20 neighborhoods in Suffolk. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Red Top and Bennett Creek score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $94,623, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 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.
