Arlington Mill Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 8,197 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.4/10 · range 7.4–7.4

Arlington Mill is a one-tract neighborhood of Arlington, VA and houses 8,197 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.4/10, Elevated tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Arlington rate of 26.5%.

36% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,688 a month, rents sit 27% under what the rest of Arlington commands. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 194 evictions logged in this tract. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 8.4% of renter households. 18.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #1 of 39 neighborhoods in Arlington. Judgments average 1.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Virginia Highlands and Buckingham.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $79,068.

63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.4/10 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.
