WestEnd Alexandria spans 5 census tracts of Alexandria, VA and houses 21,076 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, Elevated tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Alexandria rate of 28.3%.
29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6 to 7.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,841, 12% below the Alexandria average of $2,089.
Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Alexandria, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $81,354.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
