Housing insecurity runs 5.3% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Virginia Beach City average of 3.9. The filing record is not thin: 2 evictions over 1 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
