Cloverdale is a one-tract neighborhood of Dale City, VA, population 5,003. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Dale City rate of 32.6%.
Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 29 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 10.0% of renter households. That places it #6 of 12 neighborhoods in Dale City. Judgments average 6.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 18% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Princedale and Silverdale. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,783, close to the Dale City average.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
