Chapel Knoll Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,837 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Chapel Knoll is a one-tract neighborhood of Galesville, MD and houses 3,837 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.4/10. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. 47% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,750, close to the Galesville average.

One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
