Cobbdale Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 6,936 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 4–4.9

Cobbdale takes in 2 census tracts of Oakton, VA and houses 6,936 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 25.1% citywide, putting Cobbdale 20.4% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Filings are well documented here: 351 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 10.7% of renter households. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Fairlee and Fairfax Circle.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.9 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $2,338, close to the Oakton average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $109,610.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
