Sykesville Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 7.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.9 points below the Carroll County average of 4.6. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10. Against average income of $126,477, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 38% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Average gross rent is $1,750, close to the Sykesville average. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
