North Jericho maps to a single census tract in Suffolk, VA, population 2,374. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. SNAP participation is 42.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,028, 34% below the Suffolk average of $1,563. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.1/10. 23.0% 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.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Suffolk rate of 33.7%.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 15% 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 816 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 30.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 25.3% in 2016 against a 30.6% peak. Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Suffolk, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $39,227.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 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.
