Waverly Hills maps to a single census tract in Arlington, VA and houses 5,585 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 40% against 26.5% citywide, putting Waverly Hills 13.6% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 39 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Food insecurity affects 7.2% of adults, 10.6 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 4.1% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $2,141, 8% below the Arlington average of $2,322. That places it #31 of 39 neighborhoods in Arlington. Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Boulevard Manor and Donaldson Run. Against average income of $189,276, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
