Townes of Burke Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 6,458 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Townes of Burke takes in 2 census tracts of Burke, VA and houses 6,458 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Burke rate of 24.7%.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 26.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 22 across 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

3.7% 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. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.9/10.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 8.2% of renter households. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Burke, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.

Judgments average 2.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

With little internal variation, 3.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
