North Linthicum Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,541 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10 · range 4.4–4.4

North Linthicum is a one-tract neighborhood of Linthicum, MD and houses 2,541 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Linthicum rate of 23.9%.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10. 15% 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. Average gross rent is $1,663, 20% below the Linthicum average of $2,066.

At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $108,409, 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.

One tract means one number: 4.4/10 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.
