Port Potomac Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 7,017 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Port Potomac is a one-tract neighborhood of Leesylvania, VA, population 7,017. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 53% over what the rest of Leesylvania commands.

What pushes the score up most 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. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

Against a Leesylvania baseline of 28.3%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions logged in this tract.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 4.2% of renter households. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Judgments average 1.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $178,766.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
