Pleasant Hill maps to a single census tract in Suffolk, VA and houses 2,409 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Suffolk rate of 33.7%.
29% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,169, 25% below the Suffolk average of $1,563.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 33.9% of adults, 16.1 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
That places it #1 of 20 neighborhoods in Suffolk. The closest comparables inside the same city are North Jericho and Philadelphia.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $52,907.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 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.
