Oakwood Eviction Risk: Moderate
1 census tracts · pop 5,339 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2
Oakwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Arlington, VA, population 5,339. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 26.5% citywide, putting Oakwood 34.8% over its own city.
At $3,501 a month, rents sit 51% over what the rest of Arlington commands. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Food insecurity affects 5.4% of adults, 12.4 points below the national rate. The filing record is not thin: 1 evictions logged in this tract. 3.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 1.1% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. That places it #37 of 39 neighborhoods in Arlington.
At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Crescent Hills and Country Club Hills score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
