Country Roads Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,165 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3.6–3.6

Country Roads is a one-tract neighborhood of Buckhall, VA and houses 5,165 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 87%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Against a Buckhall baseline of 26.5%, 93% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.8/10. The voucher gap is 20.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Court records for this tract carry 10 eviction filings. Running hot is supply constraint at 7.1/10.

Average gross rent is $2,789, 13% above the Buckhall average of $2,478. SNAP participation is 6.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 21.3% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate.

Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Buckhall, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 10.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Only 11% 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. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 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.
