Sequoyah takes in 3 census tracts of Woodlawn, VA and houses 15,956 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.2 to 5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.2/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.3/10. Filings are well documented here: 697 across 3 observed tracts. Against a Woodlawn baseline of 65.2%, 70% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 12.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.2% in 2016 against a 12.0% peak. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,973, close to the Woodlawn average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $92,237. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
