Goose Creek Bend is a one-tract neighborhood of Goose Creek Village, VA and houses 6,078 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 24.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.8/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.3/10.
SNAP participation is 3.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 4.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $250,001, annual rent is only 14%, 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 $2,873, close to the Goose Creek Village average.
One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
