Eccleston Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,327 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.6–5.6

Eccleston maps to a single census tract in Pikesville, MD and houses 2,327 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 21% 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 $2,159 a month, rents sit 26% over what the rest of Pikesville commands. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.5/10.

Cost burden runs 29% against 33.2% citywide, putting Eccleston 4.6% under its own city. 3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Pikesville, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $106,522.

One tract means one number: 5.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
