Lynhaven maps to a single census tract in Arlington, VA and houses 1,401 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Arlington baseline of 26.5%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Disability prevalence reaches 16.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Food insecurity affects 6.3% of adults, 11.5 points below the national rate.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The voucher gap is 13.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $2,623, 13% above the Arlington average of $2,322. That places it #20 of 39 neighborhoods in Arlington. For a like-for-like read, Green Valley and Aurora Hills score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
