Shetland Hills maps to a single census tract in Lutherville, MD and houses 1,980 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,583, 82% above the Lutherville average of $1,423.
Against a Lutherville baseline of 38.0%, about a quarter of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 31.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.1/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 4.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Only 3% 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. For a like-for-like read, Towsonvale and Country Club Park score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $148,000.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
