Varsity Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Alexandria, VA, population 3,225. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 28.3% citywide, putting Varsity Park 12.7% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
That places it #9 of 26 neighborhoods in Alexandria. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,033, close to the Alexandria average.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $95,147. 65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
