Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Westminster
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.
Against the Carroll County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. Average gross rent is $1,148, 22% below the Westminster average.
10% 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 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 21% 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 5.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $113,545, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
