Maplewood maps to a single census tract in Frederick, MD and houses 1,789 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 31.2% citywide, putting Maplewood 12.7% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,503, 15% below the Frederick average of $1,764.

That places it #9 of 19 neighborhoods in Frederick. For a like-for-like read, Carrollton and Spring Valley score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $87,083. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 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.
