Forest Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower

Forest Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Lake Ridge, VA and houses 3,004 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
At $2,694 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Lake Ridge commands. The voucher gap is 16.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 7 evictions logged in this tract. Food insecurity affects 7.3% of adults, 10.5 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 6.9% of renter households. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #5 of 6 neighborhoods in Lake Ridge.
Judgments average 3.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 5% 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 Lakepointe and Highland Chase.
Rent takes 19% 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: 3.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
