Dumbarton maps to a single census tract in Pikesville, MD, population 5,032. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 51% against 33.2% citywide, putting Dumbarton 18.1% over its own city. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,442, 16% below the Pikesville average of $1,707. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in Pikesville.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Eccleston and Wellwood. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 32% 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
