Oakbluff is a one-tract neighborhood of Edgewater, MD and houses 3,828 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Edgewater baseline of 32.7%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Only 17% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Pine Whiff Beach and South River Heights. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $2,139, close to the Edgewater average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $101,023.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 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.
