Lakeview Shores Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,156 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Lakeview Shores maps to a single census tract in Virginia Beach, VA, population 6,156. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 32.2% citywide, putting Lakeview Shores 14.0% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. 21% 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.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 76 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 9.8% of renter households.

SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate.

That places it #31 of 53 neighborhoods in Virginia Beach. Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Lamplight Manor and Charlestowne. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,704, close to the Virginia Beach average.

One tract means one number: 3.4/10 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.
