Wynd Crest Eviction Risk: Lower

5 census tracts · pop 18,622 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3–4.1

Wynd Crest takes in 5 census tracts of Virginia Beach, VA, population 18,622. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Virginia Beach rate of 32.2%.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.1, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Filings are well documented here: 118 across 3 observed tracts. The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 25.5% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,904, 11% above the Virginia Beach average of $1,714. That places it #36 of 53 neighborhoods in Virginia Beach.

Judgments average 8.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 27% 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 Lynnhaven Shores and Fairfield.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $102,020.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
