Wardour Bluffs is a one-tract neighborhood of Naval Academy, MD, population 2,134. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10.
100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The voucher gap is 35.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running hot is supply constraint at 8.5/10. Against a Naval Academy baseline of 27.7%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $2,657 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Naval Academy commands. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $120,347.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
