Rudee Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Virginia Beach, VA and houses 1,615 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 32.2% citywide, putting Rudee Heights 25.1% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
3.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 3.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #42 of 53 neighborhoods in Virginia Beach.
At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Bay Island and Bayville Park score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $183,611, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,688, close to the Virginia Beach average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
