Blandsford maps to a single census tract in Buckhall, VA and houses 6,141 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 70%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
about three-quarters of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Buckhall rate of 26.5%. The voucher gap is 31.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.2/10. At $3,045 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of Buckhall commands.
The filing record is not thin: 6 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 5.9% of renter households. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Buckhall, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 2.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 3% 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.
For a like-for-like read, Montyville and Country Roads score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $181,681.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
