Penderbrook maps to a single census tract in Fair Oaks, VA and houses 4,705 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 38% against 29.5% citywide, putting Penderbrook 8.4% over its own city.
The filing record is not thin: 37 evictions logged in this tract. Average gross rent is $1,913, 16% below the Fair Oaks average of $2,275.
The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Disability prevalence reaches 19.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 2.0% of renter households. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Fair Oaks.
Judgments average 0.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 21% 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.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 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.
