Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Willow Springs
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.7/10.
Court records carry 86 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.1/10.
SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2011, when 5.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.8/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Fairfax County average of 4.3 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
