Ashland Park maps to a single census tract in Ashland, VA and houses 5,249 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Ashland rate of 29.4%.
29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,231, close to the Ashland average. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 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.
