Fountaindale North maps to a single census tract in Braddock Heights, MD and houses 4,548 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
26% 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 economic stress, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 1.7/10. 26% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Braddock Heights rate of 20.3%. SNAP participation is 4.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
