College Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,388 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.5–5.5

College Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Winchester, VA, population 5,388. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 32.2% citywide, putting College Park 21.7% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. 31% 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.

This is a renter market: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.2/10.

At $1,424 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Winchester commands. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Winchester, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $63,382.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
