Landstown is a 2-tract quarter of Virginia Beach, VA and houses 11,443 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The voucher gap is 18.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $2,003, 17% above the Virginia Beach average of $1,714. Cost burden runs 27% against 32.2% citywide, putting Landstown 4.9% under its own city.
Filings are well documented here: 61 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 16.6% of renter households. That places it #42 of 53 neighborhoods in Virginia Beach.
Judgments average 8.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 7% 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, Bay Island and Bayville Park score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
