Lake View takes in 4 census tracts of Virginia Beach, VA and houses 12,374 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.2, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The filing record is not thin: 82 evictions logged in this tract. Average gross rent is $1,493, 13% below the Virginia Beach average of $1,714. Against a Virginia Beach baseline of 32.2%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 11.7% of renter households. That places it #17 of 53 neighborhoods in Virginia Beach. Judgments average 4.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, East Beach and Malibu score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $93,305, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
