Arlington is a one-tract neighborhood of Hopewell, VA, population 2,908. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 40% 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.
Against a Hopewell baseline of 31.7%, 69% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. SNAP participation is 47.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 44.3% of adults, 26.5 points above the national rate.
The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 668 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 27.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 11.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.
One tract means one number: 5.6/10 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.
