Emmit Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Emmitsburg, MD and houses 5,568 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 31.2% citywide, putting Emmit Ridge 14.3% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $853, 34% above the Emmitsburg average of $635. Only 25% 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. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 5.5/10 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.
