Franklin Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 8,173 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Franklin is a 2-tract neighborhood of Vienna, VA and houses 8,173 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Vienna rate of 28.6%. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. The voucher gap is 28.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $2,968, 24% above the Vienna average of $2,391. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.8/10.

Filings are well documented here: 28 across 2 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 6.1% of adults, 11.7 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 5.1% of renter households.

4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $237,320, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.

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.
