Chesapeake Terrace is a one-tract neighborhood of Edgemere, MD and houses 3,353 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 28.7% citywide, putting Chesapeake Terrace 15.5% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Average gross rent is $1,421, 9% above the Edgemere average of $1,300. Only 10% 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.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 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.
