Station Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,377 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Station Hills maps to a single census tract in Fairfax Station, VA and houses 6,377 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Food insecurity affects 4.3% of adults, 13.5 points below the national rate.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.2/10. SNAP participation is 2.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 5.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. Only 2% 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 0%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
