Nansemond Square maps to a single census tract in Suffolk, VA, population 1,839. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Suffolk rate of 33.7%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 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. Average gross rent is $1,178, 25% below the Suffolk average of $1,563.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 663 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 47.6% of renter households.
That places it #1 of 20 neighborhoods in Suffolk. Judgments average 10.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, North Jericho and Philadelphia score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
