Woodstock maps to a single census tract in Richmond, VA, population 5,916. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. SNAP participation is 45.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Richmond rate of 31.1%. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Disability prevalence reaches 49.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.6/10.
The filing record is not thin: 3,170 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
At $1,158 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Richmond commands. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 59.5% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 60.1% in 2016 against a 59.5% peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
