Edmondson Ridge Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,060 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Edmondson Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Catonsville, MD and houses 3,060 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Catonsville rate of 32.7%.

The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,282, 26% below the Catonsville average of $1,724.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. That places it #5 of 11 neighborhoods in Catonsville.

For a like-for-like read, Catonsville Heights and Westowne score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Against average income of $100,430, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
