Addison Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 3,946 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.3–7

Addison Heights takes in 2 census tracts of Arlington, VA, population 3,946. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, Moderate tier. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.3 to 7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.2/10. 34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Arlington rate of 26.5%. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Disability prevalence reaches 18.0% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Court records carry 8 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 0.9% of renter households. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Arlington, it ranks #16 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Long Branch Creek and National Landing. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
