Wakefield Eviction Risk: Moderate , Alexandria

At $3,501 a month, rents run 68% over what the rest of Alexandria commands. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

Against the Alexandria City average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Housing insecurity runs 5.0% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 44% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $188,468.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
