Greenfield Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,586 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 4.5–4.5

Greenfield maps to a single census tract in Bon Air, VA, population 1,586. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Bon Air rate of 28.1%.

81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. Court records for this tract carry 497 eviction filings. At $1,587 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Bon Air commands.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 19.5% of renter households. That places it #2 of 6 neighborhoods in Bon Air.

Judgments average 3.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Woodmont and Brighton Green score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $70,750.

One tract means one number: 4.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
