Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Braddock

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 6.2% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 4.3% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the Alexandria City average of 5.7. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $143,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,949, close to the Alexandria average. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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