Potomac Town Center is a 2-tract neighborhood of Leesylvania, VA and houses 12,160 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 28.3% citywide, putting Potomac Town Center 21.4% over its own city.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.6 to 6.6. A 3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filings are well documented here: 343 across 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 18.4% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Judgments average 3.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,289, close to the Leesylvania average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $113,239. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
