Winding Creek maps to a single census tract in Independent Hill, VA and houses 6,623 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 53% over what the rest of Independent Hill commands.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Against a Independent Hill baseline of 25.6%, 15% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 2 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 1.9% of renter households.
Judgments average 0.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 3% 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.
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.
