Virginia Beach Eviction Risk: Moderate

78% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Virginia Beach City average of 46.1%. Set annual rent against average income of $59,489 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.

The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.3 points above the Virginia Beach City average of 3.9.

The voucher gap is 18.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $2,016 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Virginia Beach commands.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 6.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 20 evictions over 1 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 5.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
