Winslow Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,671 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Winslow Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Alexandria, VA and houses 1,671 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households. 12% 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. Average gross rent is $2,398, 15% above the Alexandria average of $2,089.

SNAP participation is 5.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.5% of adults, 10.3 points below the national rate.

Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Alexandria, it ranks #18 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Captains Row and Rosemont.

Against average income of $145,313, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
