Glenwood spans 3 census tracts of Virginia Beach, VA, population 15,040. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Virginia Beach rate of 32.2%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 13% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Filings are well documented here: 91 across 3 observed tracts. The voucher gap is 13.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,498, 13% below the Virginia Beach average of $1,714. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 16.6% of renter households. Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Virginia Beach, it ranks #40 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 5.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 11% 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.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
