Stratford maps to a single census tract in Timonium, MD and houses 3,623 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 32.1% citywide, putting Stratford 14.8% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. SNAP participation is 5.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.1% of adults, 9.7 points below the national rate. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mercy Ridge and Eastridge.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,798, close to the Timonium average. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 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.
