Edgewater maps to a single census tract in Burke, VA, population 2,997. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Against a Burke baseline of 24.7%, 100% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
18% 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. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Burke commands. SNAP participation is 3.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Court records for this tract carry 7 eviction filings. 3.3% 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.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.9% of renter households.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Burke, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 1.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 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.
