Saratoga Place Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,513 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Saratoga Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Suffolk, VA and houses 1,513 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Cost burden runs 43% against 33.7% citywide, putting Saratoga Place 9.0% over its own city.

SNAP participation is 33.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 65% 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.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the high side is economic stress at 7.8/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,353, 13% below the Suffolk average of $1,563. Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Suffolk, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, North Jericho and Philadelphia score within a fraction of it.

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.
