Leewood Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,730 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.8–3.8

Leewood is a one-tract neighborhood of North Springfield, VA, population 6,730. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 44% against 33.8% citywide, putting Leewood 10.3% over its own city. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 430 evictions logged in this tract.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.8/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 23.1% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 18.3% in 2016 against a 23.1% peak. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $141,719, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,226, close to the North Springfield average.

One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
