Southlake spans 2 census tracts of Montclair, VA, population 12,342. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs 17% against 27.7% citywide, putting Southlake 10.9% under its own city. The voucher gap is 21.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,805, 19% above the Montclair average of $2,366.
Filings are well documented here: 12 across 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.9/10.
SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.1/10. Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 4.0% of renter households. Judgments average 1.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Cardinal Crest and Four Seasons score within a fraction of it.
With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
