Falls Hill takes in 2 census tracts of Idylwood, VA and houses 5,712 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Idylwood rate of 26.4%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
At $2,557 a month, rents sit 25% over what the rest of Idylwood commands. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.9 to 5.3, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Court records carry 164 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10.
Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate. 4.1% 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 7.8% of renter households. The voucher gap is 10.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Judgments average 1.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
