Island View Beach maps to a single census tract in Essex, MD, population 1,822. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 33.8% citywide, putting Island View Beach 13.6% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. 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. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
Average gross rent is $1,634, 24% above the Essex average of $1,319. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Essex, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. Only 15% 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 Bauernschmidt Manor and Hyde Park. Against average income of $145,625, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
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.
