Hillbrook Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,238 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 4.2–4.2

Hillbrook maps to a single census tract in Annandale, VA and houses 5,238 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,553, 32% above the Annandale average of $1,933.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. 17% 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 141 eviction filings. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Against a Annandale baseline of 34.1%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 11.4% of renter households.

The voucher gap is 10.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The most recent observed rate, 6.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #7 of 9 neighborhoods in Annandale.

At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Columbia Pines and Sleepy Hollow Run.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
