Atlantis Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 9,096 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3.5–3.7

Atlantis takes in 2 census tracts of Cape St. Claire, MD, population 9,096. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,229 a month, rents sit 39% under what the rest of Cape St. Claire commands.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. SNAP participation is 5.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 8.1% of adults, 9.7 points below the national rate. The voucher gap is 10.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Only 11% 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. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 3.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
