Indian Springs Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,493 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3

Indian Springs is a one-tract neighborhood of Springfield, VA and houses 3,493 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 28% against 41.4% citywide, putting Indian Springs 13.6% under its own city.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. 28% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 22.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Court records for this tract carry 29 eviction filings.

On the high side is supply constraint at 7.2/10. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 3.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.2% in 2016 against a 3.2% peak.

Average gross rent is $2,828, 6% above the Springfield average of $2,656. That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Springfield.

At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
