Castle Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Rossville, MD and houses 5,269 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Rossville baseline of 26.6%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. 23% 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.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. At $1,883 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Rossville commands. The closest comparables inside the same city are Eagle's Walk at White Marsh and Deerbourne.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $99,868. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 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.
