Farmview Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,871 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Farmview maps to a single census tract in Merrimac, VA and houses 2,871 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Merrimac baseline of 25.5%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,101, close to the Merrimac average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $50,050.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
