Oakwood takes in 2 census tracts of Franconia, VA and houses 5,256 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about half against 22.1% citywide, putting Oakwood 29.4% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 25.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 121 across 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.8/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 7.7% of renter households. At $2,896 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Franconia commands.
Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Franconia, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 1.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Springfield Forest and Amberleigh score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
