Beechwood Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,877 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Beechwood Hills maps to a single census tract in Arlington, VA, population 3,877. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 51% over what the rest of Arlington commands.

What pushes the score up most 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.

24% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 3.9% of adults, 13.9 points below the national rate.

3.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

That places it #26 of 39 neighborhoods in Arlington. Only 9% 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.

Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 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.
