Philadelphia is a one-tract neighborhood of Suffolk, VA and houses 1,590 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 57% 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.
roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Suffolk rate of 33.7%. SNAP participation is 48.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 43.9% of adults, 26.1 points above the national rate. Set annual rent against average household income of $34,132 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 34%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 78% 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. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 8.6/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $1,206 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Suffolk commands.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Suffolk, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
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.
