Crystal Springs Eviction Risk: Lower , Braddock

Average gross rent is $3,501, 45% above the Fair Lakes average. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10.

Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 5 evictions over 4 years of observation.

It sits 0.7 points below the Fairfax County average of 4.3. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 3.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
