Waxpool Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 13,459 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

Waxpool takes in 2 census tracts of Broadlands, VA and houses 13,459 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

27% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Court records carry 22 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

Disability prevalence reaches 19.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Food insecurity affects 6.7% of adults, 11.1 points below the national rate.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 4.0% of renter households.

At $2,473 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Broadlands commands. Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 18% 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 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 3.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
