Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Montgomery
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Against Montgomery County at 42.8%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Housing insecurity runs 25.4% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 1.0 points above the Montgomery County average of 4.0.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The filing record is not thin: 1,137 evictions over 9 years of observation.
At $986 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Montgomery commands. Filings peaked in 2008 at 18.6% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
