Aquia takes in 2 census tracts of Aquia Harbour, VA and houses 14,123 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
27% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 38 evictions logged in this tract.
11% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $2,194, 14% below the Aquia Harbour average of $2,549. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 4.8% in 2016 against a 4.9% peak. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $127,178.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
