Windsor Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,649 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 4.1–4.1

Windsor maps to a single census tract in Sandston, VA, population 4,649. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. Against a Sandston baseline of 36.8%, 27% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.

Court records for this tract carry 278 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 35.5% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 40.3% in 2016 against a 35.5% peak. Only 23% 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. For a like-for-like read, Hunters Run and Virginia Heights score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $84,861, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,171, close to the Sandston average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 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.
