Highview Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Arlington, VA, population 1,511. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 26.5% citywide, putting Highview Park 29.1% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 4 evictions logged in this tract. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 2.3% of renter households.
SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,100, 10% below the Arlington average of $2,322.
That places it #26 of 39 neighborhoods in Arlington. Judgments average 1.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Larchmont and Claremont. Against average income of $130,882, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
