Huntsmoor South Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 9,084 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.6–4

Huntsmoor South spans 2 census tracts of Arbutus, MD and houses 9,084 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,839, 40% above the Arbutus average of $1,318.

Against a Arbutus baseline of 25.8%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.2/10.

That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Arbutus. Only 19% 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.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Highgate Village and Wynnewood. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 3.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
