Worman's Mill is a one-tract neighborhood of Frederick, MD and houses 6,270 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $2,185, 24% above the Frederick average of $1,764.

around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. SNAP participation is 4.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.0% of adults, 10.8 points below the national rate.

That places it #14 of 19 neighborhoods in Frederick. At 20% 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 Dearbought and Edgewood View. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $123,929.

One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
