Princedale maps to a single census tract in Dale City, VA and houses 4,116 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 4 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.7% of renter households. That places it #6 of 12 neighborhoods in Dale City.
Judgments average 1.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cloverdale and Silverdale.
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.
