Water View is a one-tract neighborhood of Edgemere, MD, population 2,710. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $423, 67% below the Edgemere average of $1,300.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 21% against 28.7% citywide, putting Water View 7.5% under its own city.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10. Only 20% 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. Against average income of $83,650, annual rent is only 6%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
