· range 3–3
La Frontera maps to a single census tract in Arlington, TX, population 7,339. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Arlington baseline of 34.7%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $2,260, 54% above the Arlington average of $1,470. The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The voucher gap is 32.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running hot is supply constraint at 8.3/10. That places it #6 of 10 neighborhoods in Arlington.
At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Western Trails and Webb.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $109,233.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
