Olney Park is a 3-tract neighborhood of Tysons, VA, population 9,324. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Cost burden runs 32% against 25.0% citywide, putting Olney Park 6.7% over its own city. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 1.7% of renter households. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Tysons.

Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.

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.
