1 census tracts · pop 6,133 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.1/10 · range 6.1–6.1

Owings Ridge maps to a single census tract in Reisterstown, MD, population 6,133. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,720, 8% above the Reisterstown average of $1,600. 38% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

That places it #4 of 5 neighborhoods in Reisterstown. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cherry Valley and Glen Morris.

64% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
