Pines of Laurel spans 3 census tracts of Maryland City, MD, population 18,345. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Maryland City baseline of 32.8%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
29% 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. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.1 to 6, a 1.9-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.6/10. The voucher gap is 10.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
At $2,173 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Maryland City commands. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $102,270. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
