Oakville takes in 4 census tracts of Alexandria, VA, population 9,399. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.8 to 5.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. At $2,477 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Alexandria commands.
Food insecurity affects 5.4% of adults, 12.4 points below the national rate. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Disability prevalence reaches 18.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
That places it #21 of 26 neighborhoods in Alexandria. The closest comparables inside the same city are North Fairlington and Warwick Village.
Against average income of $178,808, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
