Summerfield Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 20,062 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3.4–3.7

Summerfield is a 2-tract neighborhood of Brambleton, VA and houses 20,062 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Brambleton baseline of 37.2%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The voucher gap is 23.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.4/10. SNAP participation is 3.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. At $2,851 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Brambleton commands.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. 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. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

With little internal variation, 3.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
