Against a Alexandria baseline of 28.3%, 21% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Disability prevalence reaches 17.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,064, close to the Alexandria average.
49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 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.
