Elmwood maps to a single census tract in Overlea, MD, population 6,062. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Overlea baseline of 31.1%, 17% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $931, 37% below the Overlea average of $1,473. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. 17% 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.
At 9% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Linhigh and Fullerton Heights. Against average income of $89,980, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
