Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Barcroft

At $1,446 a month, rents run 38% under what the rest of Arlington commands. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Court records carry 5 eviction filings across 1 observed years. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2016 at 4.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.2/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
