Donaldson Run maps to a single census tract in Arlington, VA and houses 4,461 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
35% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Arlington rate of 26.5%. SNAP participation is 3.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
3.4% 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. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Arlington, it ranks #31 by risk, the lower third.
At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Boulevard Manor and Dominion Heights score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,417, close to the Arlington average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
