Westview Village Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,534 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.9–3.9

Westview Village maps to a single census tract in Virginia Beach, VA, population 4,534. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. 45% 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.

Cost burden runs 58% against 32.2% citywide, putting Westview Village 26.1% over its own city. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Court records for this tract carry 81 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 11.8% of renter households.

Among the 53 mapped neighborhoods of Virginia Beach, it ranks #22 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Laurel Manor and The Lakes.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,814, close to the Virginia Beach average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $83,141.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
