· range 5.1–5.1
The Falls maps to a single census tract in Pikesville, MD, population 4,790. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 50%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Pikesville baseline of 33.2%, 72% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2.1/10. At $2,043 a month, rents sit 20% over what the rest of Pikesville commands.
Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate. 4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #5 of 7 neighborhoods in Pikesville. Only 28% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Wellwood and The Parke at Mount Washington score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $118,125.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 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.
