Stoddard Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 6,426 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Stoddard is a one-tract neighborhood of Cockeysville, MD, population 6,426. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

3.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Against a Cockeysville baseline of 31.8%, around a third of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $1,710, 7% above the Cockeysville average of $1,603.

Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Cockeysville, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Sherwood Hills and Knoll Brook.

Against average income of $139,263, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, 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, 5.2/10 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.
