Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lyon Park

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. At $3,501 a month, rents run 51% over what the rest of Arlington commands. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 5.5% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 1 eviction filings across 1 observed years. Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 2.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing.
