Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cloverdale

The heaviest input here is eviction process difficulty at 3.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Dale City eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Prince William County average of 5.7 and in line with the Virginia statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 15.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 29 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 10.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.0% of renter households in 2016.
