Silverdale is a one-tract neighborhood of Dale City, VA and houses 6,578 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Dale City rate of 32.6%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 6.9% of renter households. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Dale City, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 3.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 12% 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 Cloverdale.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,847, close to the Dale City average.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
