32% 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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. At $2,138 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Towson commands.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10.
Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Towson, it ranks #8 by risk, the middle third. Only 26% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Knettishall and Wiltondale. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $93,309.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
