Mountvista Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,234 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3.1–3.1

Mountvista is a one-tract neighborhood of Kingsville, MD, population 2,234. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 74% 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 89% against 51.0% citywide, putting Mountvista 38.2% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10.

SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 points below the national rate.

At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 7% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $679, close to the Kingsville average.

One tract means one number: 3.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
