Benton Terrace maps to a single census tract in Linthicum, MD, population 4,241. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
28% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Linthicum rate of 23.9%. Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate. Only 8% 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. Against average income of $129,648, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,963, close to the Linthicum average.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
