Random Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Fair Oaks, VA, population 6,749. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 29.5% citywide, putting Random Hills 18.4% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10. 19% 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.
The filing record is not thin: 123 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 4.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.4% in 2016 against a 4.5% peak.
That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Fair Oaks. For a like-for-like read, Dixie Hill and Penderlan score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $2,350, close to the Fair Oaks average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 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.
