Charlestowne is a one-tract neighborhood of Virginia Beach, VA and houses 6,742 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 100 eviction filings. Against a Virginia Beach baseline of 32.2%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 9.0% of renter households. That places it #31 of 53 neighborhoods in Virginia Beach.
Judgments average 3.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lakeview Shores and Lamplight Manor. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,684, close to the Virginia Beach average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $97,644.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
