Sagner Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 1,713 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Sagner is a one-tract neighborhood of Frederick, MD, population 1,713. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Frederick rate of 31.2%.

Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.2/10.

Average gross rent is $1,144, 35% below the Frederick average of $1,764. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10.

That places it #1 of 19 neighborhoods in Frederick. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hawthorn Square and Spring Valley. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $65,104.

58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 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.
