Deepwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 17,030 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 3.7–5.7

Deepwood is a 4-tract neighborhood of Reston, VA, population 17,030. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 40% against 25.1% citywide, putting Deepwood 14.6% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.7/10. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.7 to 5.7, a 2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

At $1,687 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Reston commands. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records carry 401 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. SNAP participation is 6.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 9.3% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate.

Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Reston, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 1.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
