Woodley North Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,536 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3

Woodley North is a one-tract neighborhood of West Falls Church, VA and houses 4,536 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a West Falls Church baseline of 28.0%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 285 evictions logged in this tract. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

19.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 15.6% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 9.2% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 8 neighborhoods in West Falls Church. The closest comparables inside the same city are Pine Spring and Woodley.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
