Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 31% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Charles County average of 36.2%.

Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Charles County average of 4.3 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,473, close to the La Plata average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $88,097. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
