Willowbrook Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,868 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Willowbrook is a one-tract neighborhood of Suffolk, VA and houses 2,868 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 70%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Against a Suffolk baseline of 33.7%, 81% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Suffolk, it ranks #13 by risk, the middle third.

Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Red Top and Forest Glen Terrace score within a fraction of it.

One tract means one number: 3.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
