[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sfh Ownership in 22204 is 50% compared to 22207.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Show me where you are getting this number.  My guess is out of your ass. 
Did you people just get the vapors at the thought of south Arlington when you were house hunting? Did you do any research at all? It doesn't matter, but your ideas are very silly.[/quote]

I live in Nauck, used to live in Penrose. Got the data from the US Census.[/quote]

Percent of housing units that are owner occupied (2010 census)
    22204: 41.5%
    22207: 79.5%

Percent of owner occupied housing units that are SFH (2014 American Community Survey) 
    22204: 49.5%
    22207: 88.1%

I was right that twice as many people own in 22207 as in 22204. But if you're looking just at SFHs, it is more than three times as many (70% in 22207, versus 20.5% in 22204.)

My ass accepts your apology. [/quote]

Hmmm... ACS... Yeah...  It's mandatory, but not entirely accurate. [/quote]

OK, well you just let me know how far you want to move the goalpost to make whatever weird point you're trying to make, and I'll decide if I want to keep playing.

MY point is, south Arlington still has a ton of "affordable" housing, which does not necessarily mean subsidized housing, it means the housing that working people can afford to rent. But they move around a lot, which causes its own problems in the schools when you have different kids every year. When you combine that with the OTHER issues you see in south Arlington--people who truly are very low income, people who don't speak English at home, etc. it is a lot of hurdles to ask a school to overcome when compared to the typical population that attends a north Arlington school.
