Bellevue Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 1,584 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.6/10 · range 6.6–6.6

Bellevue Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Union Bridge, MD and houses 1,584 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.6/10, Elevated tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Union Bridge rate of 29.7%.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 8.3/10.

Average gross rent is $1,209, 8% above the Union Bridge average of $1,118. 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.

Against average income of $82,956, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.

One tract means one number: 6.6/10 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.
