Housing
I ’ ve found that people who tend to visit our City have a much more consistent , pleasant experience than even some of the folks who actually live here .
– an Arlington resident
Those who are considered rent or owner burdened spend over 30 percent of their income on housing costs . Nearly 53 percent of renter households in Arlington are rent-burdened , compared to 50 percent of renters in the U . S . as a whole . Homeowners are also burdened ; Twenty-three percent of homeowners in Arlington and the U . S . are burdened . Latino homeowners in Arlington are the most likely to experience cost-burden and White homeowners are the least likely . While Arlington is one of the most diverse large cities in the U . S ., the spatial spread of this diversity is somewhat limited , with White and Latino residents being the most segregated from one another , and Black and Asian or Pacific Islander residents being the least segregated . Furthermore , various accessibility measures ( Internet , vehicle , commute time , and English-language proficiency ) also vary greatly throughout Arlington and between ethnoracial categories .
