· range 3.9–3.9
Cherrydale maps to a single census tract in Mechanicsville, VA and houses 2,747 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.9/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Mechanicsville rate of 29.6%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,435, 17% below the Mechanicsville average of $1,724. SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.1% of adults, 9.7 points below the national rate. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Mechanicsville, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Against average income of $99,273, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
