Amberleigh Station is a one-tract neighborhood of Gainesville, VA, population 5,416. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 31.7% citywide, putting Amberleigh Station 30.2% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 30%. 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. The voucher gap is 26.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $2,935, 29% above the Gainesville average of $2,283. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.7/10. SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 points below the national rate. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Gainesville, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. At 14% 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 Saranac and Waterfall Village. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
