Hillsmere Shores Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,885 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

Hillsmere Shores is a one-tract neighborhood of Annapolis Neck, MD and houses 5,885 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 35.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.6/10.

SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.8/10. Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate.

Cost burden runs roughly one in four against 26.8% citywide, putting Hillsmere Shores 3.7% under its own city. At $2,667 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Annapolis Neck commands.

Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $148,843.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
