North Highland Eviction Risk: Elevated , Arlington

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 6.5% against 17.8% nationally.

34% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Arlington County average of 38.9%. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions over 1 years of observation.

Average gross rent is $1,980, 15% below the Arlington average. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.9/10.

Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2016 at 1.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the VA average is 4.2, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
