South Fairlington Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against a Arlington baseline of 26.5%, about one in five of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The voucher gap is 18.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity affects 4.2% of adults, 13.6 points below the national rate.

Average gross rent is $2,749, 18% above the Arlington average of $2,322. Disability prevalence reaches 17.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

The filing record is not thin: 1 evictions logged in this tract. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 0.2% of renter households. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Arlington, it ranks #31 by risk, the lower third.

Judgments average 0.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Boulevard Manor and Donaldson Run score within a fraction of it.

One tract means one number: 5.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
