Thalia Shores Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,398 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Thalia Shores is a one-tract neighborhood of Virginia Beach, VA and houses 3,398 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 32.2% citywide, putting Thalia Shores 14.0% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 6 eviction filings.

3.8% 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. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 1.5% of renter households.

That places it #42 of 53 neighborhoods in Virginia Beach. Judgments average 0.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Bayville Park and Cavalier Park score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
