Brookfield is a 3-tract neighborhood of Chantilly, VA, population 17,598. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 30.7% citywide, putting Brookfield 11.7% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.4 to 5.2, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filings are well documented here: 221 across 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 9.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 3.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. At $2,483 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Chantilly commands. Only 22% 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.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $137,009.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
