Braddock is a one-tract neighborhood of Alexandria, VA and houses 4,132 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Alexandria baseline of 28.3%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 4.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. At $1,949 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Alexandria commands. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Alexandria, it ranks #24 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Jefferson Park and Wakefield. Against average income of $143,750, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
