Hynson Knolls Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,645 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 4.1–4.1

Hynson Knolls is a one-tract neighborhood of Manassas, VA and houses 4,645 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Cost burden runs 26% against 30.9% citywide, putting Hynson Knolls 5.0% under its own city.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Manassas, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,764, close to the Manassas average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $100,434. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
