Huntington maps to a single census tract in Virginia Beach, VA, population 5,561. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Virginia Beach rate of 32.2%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. 18% 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.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 43 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 11.3% of renter households. Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Virginia Beach, it ranks #28 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 4.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,791, close to the Virginia Beach average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $89,570.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 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.
