Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Penderlan
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 7.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Fairfax County average of 5.4 and below the Virginia statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is White and Asian and ranks around the 7th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 67 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 2.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.5% of renter households in 2013.
