Lamplight Manor Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,877 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Lamplight Manor is a one-tract neighborhood of Virginia Beach, VA and houses 3,877 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 32.2% citywide, putting Lamplight Manor 12.4% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

The filing record is not thin: 49 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 14.9% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,542, 10% below the Virginia Beach average of $1,714. Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Virginia Beach, it ranks #31 by risk, the middle third.

Judgments average 8.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 16% 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.

For a like-for-like read, Lakeview Shores and Charlestowne score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
