Pennbrook maps to a single census tract in Carney, MD and houses 3,482 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Carney rate of 31.8%.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,978, 10% above the Carney average of $1,793.
Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Carney, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third. Only 9% 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 Cub Hill and Carney Grove. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $115,800.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
