Valley Brook is a one-tract neighborhood of West Falls Church, VA and houses 1,677 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 69% over what the rest of West Falls Church commands.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 8 eviction filings.
3.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 9.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.9% in 2016 against a 9.4% peak. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of West Falls Church, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third.
At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
