Pinehurst maps to a single census tract in Towson, MD, population 2,446. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Towson rate of 32.8%.
27% 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.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $2,050, 16% above the Towson average of $1,764. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
3.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Towson, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Willows of Ruxton and Ruxton Hills.
Against average income of $149,868, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
