Charing Cross maps to a single census tract in Crofton, MD and houses 3,802 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. The voucher gap is 33.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 8.4/10.
At $2,625 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Crofton commands. Cost burden runs 22% against 26.6% citywide, putting Charing Cross 4.3% under its own city.
Disability prevalence reaches 19.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. 4.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Crofton, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Crofton South and Crofton Village. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
