Columbia Pines Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,143 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 4.1–4.1

Columbia Pines maps to a single census tract in Annandale, VA, population 3,143. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Annandale baseline of 34.1%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Average gross rent is $2,449, 27% above the Annandale average of $1,933.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. 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. Court records for this tract carry 11 eviction filings.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. 4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 4.2% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 3.8% in 2016 against a 4.2% peak. That places it #8 of 9 neighborhoods in Annandale.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 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.
