Brookfield is a one-tract neighborhood of Falmouth, VA and houses 3,637 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10.
Court records for this tract carry 68 eviction filings. Against a Falmouth baseline of 36.5%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 9.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.4% in 2016 against a 9.9% peak. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Heather Hills and Clyde Forge score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,934, close to the Falmouth average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
