Furnace Branch Eviction Risk: Moderate , Ferndale

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Running hot, local political climate reads 8.9/10. At $1,742 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Ferndale commands. Against the Anne Arundel County average of 5.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.

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. That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $80,457.
