Hunter Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,894 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Hunter maps to a single census tract in Fort Hunt, VA, population 4,894. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Against a Fort Hunt baseline of 24.9%, 14% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.3/10. Food insecurity affects 5.3% of adults, 12.5 points below the national rate.

Court records for this tract carry 8 eviction filings. 3.4% 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. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 2.4% of renter households.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Fort Hunt, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Wellington Heights and North Mount Vernon score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 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.
