This is a renter market: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Arlington, it ranks #10 by risk, the upper third. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $2,449, close to the Arlington average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $112,460.
One tract means one number: 6.1/10 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.
