Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Woodhaven

The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 4.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Prince William County average of 5.7 and in line with the Virginia statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 8.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
