Featherstone Shores spans 3 census tracts of Woodbridge, VA, population 15,165. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.4/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 17% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Woodbridge rate of 28.9%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.1 to 7.3, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filings are well documented here: 75 across 2 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $1,773, 16% below the Woodbridge average of $2,101.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 9.4% of renter households. That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in Woodbridge.
Judgments average 1.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $117,272, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.2 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.
