Overlook is a one-tract neighborhood of Frederick, MD and houses 7,662 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Frederick rate of 31.2%.

Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 3/10. That places it #1 of 19 neighborhoods in Frederick. For a like-for-like read, Spring Valley and Monocacy Village score within a fraction of it.

Average gross rent runs $1,822, close to the Frederick average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $84,209.

49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
