Arrowhead Eviction Risk: Moderate

Arrowhead is a one-tract neighborhood of Virginia Beach, VA and houses 3,260 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Court records for this tract carry 262 eviction filings. 28% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Virginia Beach rate of 32.2%. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 68.4% of renter households.

At $1,566 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Virginia Beach commands. Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Virginia Beach, it ranks #21 by risk, the middle third.

Judgments average 10.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 27% 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, Brigadoon and Chesapeake Beach score within a fraction of it.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $73,420.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 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.
