Carroll Heights maps to a single census tract in Mount Airy, MD and houses 5,221 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for about one in five of renter households.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.4/10.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 7.6% of adults, 10.2 points below the national rate. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Gilboa and Mount Airy Village West score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,781, close to the Mount Airy average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 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.
