Claremont Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,284 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Claremont maps to a single census tract in Arlington, VA, population 1,284. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Arlington baseline of 26.5%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 31.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $3,033 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Arlington commands.

Running hot is supply constraint at 8.1/10. Food insecurity affects 5.8% of adults, 12.0 points below the national rate.

The filing record is not thin: 4 evictions logged in this tract. 3.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 4.0% of renter households.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Arlington, it ranks #26 by risk, the lower third.

Judgments average 2.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Highview Park and Larchmont. Against average income of $193,214, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

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.
