Lynnhaven Shores Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 4,983 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3–3.6

Lynnhaven Shores spans 2 census tracts of Virginia Beach, VA, population 4,983. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,717, 59% above the Virginia Beach average of $1,714.

The voucher gap is 60.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 27% 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. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

Cost burden runs 42% against 32.2% citywide, putting Lynnhaven Shores 10.0% over its own city. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.6/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Food insecurity affects 5.0% of adults, 12.8 points below the national rate.

5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Virginia Beach, it ranks #36 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Wynd Crest and Fairfield 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.

With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
