Fairoaks is a one-tract neighborhood of Severna Park, MD, population 3,449. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. At $1,277 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Severna Park commands. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 7.1% of adults, 10.7 points below the national rate. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.8/10. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Severna Park, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third.
Only 11% 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. For a like-for-like read, Pasadena Manor and Old Severna Park score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $200,000, annual rent is only 8%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 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.
