Queensdale is a one-tract neighborhood of Dale City, VA and houses 6,384 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 51% 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.
65% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Dale City rate of 32.6%. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. At $2,201 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Dale City commands. The filing record is not thin: 15 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 6.4% of renter households. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Dale City, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 2.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 7% 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 Mapledale and Ridgedale. Against average income of $170,217, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
