Shannon Forest maps to a single census tract in Glen Burnie, MD and houses 7,100 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 65% against 29.8% citywide, putting Shannon Forest 35.3% over its own city.
At $1,044 a month, rents sit 37% under what the rest of Glen Burnie commands. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Glen Burnie, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third.
At 9% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Tydings and Glendale Terrace score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $121,167, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 5.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
