Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The voucher gap is 41.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
Food insecurity affects 5.9% of adults, 11.9 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the softer side 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 8% 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 Cape McKinsey score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 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.
