North Mount Vernon Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,853 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

North Mount Vernon is a one-tract neighborhood of Fort Hunt, VA, population 3,853. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Fort Hunt baseline of 24.9%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input 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. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.

Food insecurity affects 4.9% of adults, 12.9 points below the national rate. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.3/10.

The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 3 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 1.9% of renter households. 4.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

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 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $3,501, close to the Fort Hunt average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $209,348.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
