Westbrook is a one-tract neighborhood of Frederick, MD, population 2,722. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Frederick baseline of 31.2%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10. At $1,375 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Frederick commands.
The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 6.8% of adults, 11.0 points below the national rate.
4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That places it #17 of 19 neighborhoods in Frederick. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, EastChurch and Clover Hill score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $135,875, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
