Wampler Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Middle River, MD and houses 5,327 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 42%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity affects 36.1% of adults, 18.3 points above the national rate. Running hot is housing-court posture at 8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.5/10. That places it #1 of 6 neighborhoods in Middle River.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,675, close to the Middle River average. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
