Aurora Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,493 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.5–5.5

Aurora Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Arlington, VA, population 2,493. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $3,501, 51% above the Arlington average of $2,322.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Against a Arlington baseline of 26.5%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 4.5% of adults, 13.3 points below the national rate.

The filing record is not thin: 1 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 0.9% of renter households.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Arlington, it ranks #20 by risk, the middle third. Only 13% 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.

One tract means one number: 5.5/10 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.
