At $1,423 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Winchester commands. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Winchester City average of 5.9 closely. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $71,404.
