Westfield maps to a single census tract in Short Pump, VA, population 8,070. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Short Pump rate of 25.8%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. SNAP participation is 3.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
3.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The voucher gap is 10.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Short Pump, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Only 11% 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 $250,001, annual rent is only 9%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,882, close to the Short Pump average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
