Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sunset Hills
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10.
Housing insecurity runs 5.6% against 14.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.2/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $160,817, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Fairfax County average of 4.3 closely. Average gross rent is $2,344, close to the Reston average.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
