Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pohick Hills

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 21.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 6.8% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.8/10. Against the Fairfax County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.

Court records carry 17 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2011 at 3.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.5/10.

Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.8 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
