It would appear that Alexandria has the highest residential turnover in the metropolitan area and is only exceeded by the District in the percentage of homes that are renter-occupied. Alexandria also has the second-lowest proportion of homes that are occupied by owners.
Is Alexandria therefore a community of transients? If so, why? And are our politicians happy to keep it that way?
