Wellington Heights maps to a single census tract in Fort Hunt, VA and houses 2,666 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 3.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 11 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10. 3.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 41.2% of renter households.
That places it #3 of 5 neighborhoods in Fort Hunt. Judgments average 8.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Poverty sits at 1%, 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
