Delight maps to a single census tract in Reisterstown, MD, population 3,756. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.8/10, in the Elevated tier. 42% 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.
Cost burden runs roughly three in four against 39.4% citywide, putting Delight 36.6% over its own city. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. 15.0% 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 28.5% of adults, 10.7 points above the national rate.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Reisterstown, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Hunters Glen South and Cherry Valley score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,571, close to the Reisterstown average. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $60,000.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
