Ridgeleigh is a one-tract neighborhood of Parkville, MD, population 2,712. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. 71% 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.
Against a Parkville baseline of 33.8%, 71% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Set annual rent against average household income of $36,528 and the ratio lands at 50%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
14.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity affects 28.1% of adults, 10.3 points above the national rate.
That places it #1 of 9 neighborhoods in Parkville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Oakleigh Manor and Ashlar Hill. Average gross rent runs $1,532, close to the Parkville average.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
