Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fairlawn

34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10.

The voucher gap is 28.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,174 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Fairlawn commands.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Against the Pulaski County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Food insecurity runs 8.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.7% against 15.2% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10. Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

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.
