Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hillsboro

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,358, 42% above the Hillsboro average. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Against the Caroline County average of 5.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $78,056.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
