Cameron Bay Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 9,327 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 3.2–4.9

Cameron Bay takes in 2 census tracts of Brandermill, VA, population 9,327. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $1,003, 44% below the Brandermill average of $1,782.

The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 4.9, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. 16% 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.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.5/10. 31% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

Filings are well documented here: 784 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 20.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.0% in 2016, is well off that peak.

At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $112,091, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
