Woodhaven is a one-tract neighborhood of Virginia Beach, VA, population 5,102. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. Against a Virginia Beach baseline of 32.2%, 22% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 17 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 6.5% of renter households. The voucher gap is 10.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,866, 9% above the Virginia Beach average of $1,714. That places it #28 of 53 neighborhoods in Virginia Beach. Judgments average 3.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Huntington and Kings Grant. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
