Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cherrydale
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.7/10.
Running hot, local political climate reads 8.6/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 8.1% against 17.8% nationally.
At $1,435 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Mechanicsville commands. SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally.
On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $99,273, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
