Bellamy Plantation Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,946 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3–3.3

Bellamy Plantation spans 2 census tracts of Virginia Beach, VA and houses 10,946 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

The voucher gap is 19.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,023, 18% above the Virginia Beach average of $1,714. Filings are well documented here: 56 across 2 observed tracts.

Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 12.4% of renter households. Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Virginia Beach, it ranks #40 by risk, the lower third.

Judgments average 5.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 15% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lynn Shores and Baylake Beach.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
