Billingsley Forest maps to a single census tract in Bensville, MD and houses 5,127 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 17% of renter households.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. 17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.3/10. The voucher gap is 16.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
At 5% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Average gross rent runs $2,686, close to the Bensville average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $150,313.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
