    How We Rank Neighborhoods for Tourists in Arlington

    Neighborhoods are ranked using the Tourist Score, a composite index designed to identify the best areas for visitors. It prioritizes the factors that matter most for a safe, convenient, and enjoyable tourist experience:

    Walkability (Walk Score)
    35% weight
    Safety (Violent Crime)
    25% weight
    Transit Access (Transit Score)
    20% weight
    Air Quality (AQI)
    10% weight
    Bikeability (Bike Score)
    10% weight

    Walkability is weighted highest because tourists benefit most from being able to explore on foot. Safety is critical for visitors unfamiliar with the area. Transit access enables easy movement without a rental car. Air quality and bikeability round out the score for an overall pleasant visit.

    Data Sources: Walk Score, FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR), US Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates, EPA AirNow, and DOT National Transportation data. All data is refreshed on a rolling basis as new 2026 government releases become available.
