Lyon Village is a 3-tract neighborhood of Arlington, VA and houses 8,013 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
Cost burden runs 36% against 26.5% citywide, putting Lyon Village 9.6% over its own city. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.3 to 6.5, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. SNAP participation is 3.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #18 of 39 neighborhoods in Arlington.
For a like-for-like read, Addison Heights and Long Branch Creek score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $168,907, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $2,418, close to the Arlington average. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
