Potomac Falls Eviction Risk: Moderate , Cascades

26% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Loudoun County average of 37.5%. Average gross rent is $1,953, 26% below the Cascades average. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.3/10. SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.2/10. Court records carry 22 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 5.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 25% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $145,000, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
