Dearbought Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,581 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 4–4

Dearbought maps to a single census tract in Frederick, MD, population 4,581. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. 12% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly below the Frederick rate of 31.2%.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate.

At $1,911 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Frederick commands. That places it #15 of 19 neighborhoods in Frederick. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Worman's Mill and Golf View. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
