Willowbend spans 2 census tracts of Severn, MD and houses 14,783 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a Severn baseline of 28.4%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The voucher gap is 19.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
At $2,345 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Severn commands. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $129,846.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
