College Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,907 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

College Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Virginia Beach, VA and houses 4,907 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Virginia Beach baseline of 32.2%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

At $1,415 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Virginia Beach commands. The filing record is not thin: 283 evictions logged in this tract. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 18.0% of renter households. That places it #1 of 53 neighborhoods in Virginia Beach. Judgments average 3.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $54,086. 64% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
