Westham maps to a single census tract in Tuckahoe, VA and houses 4,046 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. At $2,257 a month, rents sit 47% over what the rest of Tuckahoe commands.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 31.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Tuckahoe rate of 28.6%.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.2/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 4.3% of adults, 13.5 points below the national rate. Court records for this tract carry 6 eviction filings.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 2.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.5% in 2016 against a 2.4% peak.
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.
