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.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
SNAP participation is 3.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 1 eviction filings. 3.3% 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.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 0.7% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Arlington, it ranks #37 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 8% 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: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
