Jefferson Park maps to a single census tract in Alexandria, VA, population 4,974. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 15% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly below the Alexandria rate of 28.3%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 2.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $2,228 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Alexandria commands.
That places it #24 of 26 neighborhoods in Alexandria. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
