Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sandston
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Against the Henrico County average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. Cost burden runs 41% here against 47.8% across Henrico County.
The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 53 eviction filings across 2 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 11.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 11.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
