Level Green Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,082 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Level Green maps to a single census tract in Virginia Beach, VA and houses 4,082 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 32.2% citywide, putting Level Green 14.7% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,358, 21% below the Virginia Beach average of $1,714.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 351 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10.

14.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 54.9% of renter households.

SNAP participation is 23.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #1 of 53 neighborhoods in Virginia Beach. Judgments average 14.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, College Park and Magic Hollow score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $69,286.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
