Gwynnbrook Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 8,390 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.9/10 · range 6.9–6.9

Gwynnbrook maps to a single census tract in Owings Mills, MD and houses 8,390 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, Elevated tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Owings Mills rate of 29.5%.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. 85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 31.0% of adults, 13.2 points above the national rate. At $1,513 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Owings Mills commands.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $60,506.

One tract means one number: 6.9/10 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.
