Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Liberty

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 22.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.4/10. At $2,837 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Laurel Hill commands.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.3/10. SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Fairfax County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 251 filings here across 4 tracked years.

Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 12.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 8.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.8/10.
