Fairfield Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Filings are well documented here: 66 across 3 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 6.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 15.2% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,841, 7% above the Virginia Beach average of $1,714.

Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Virginia Beach, it ranks #31 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 5.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 20% 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, Lakeview Shores and Lamplight Manor score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.9 points apart at the extremes.

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.
