Embrey Mill Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,393 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.8–3.8

Embrey Mill maps to a single census tract in Stafford Courthouse, VA and houses 4,393 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 65%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Against a Stafford Courthouse baseline of 22.8%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $2,816, 32% above the Stafford Courthouse average of $2,130.

The voucher gap is 21.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10. Only 4% 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.

Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
