Sunrise Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,727 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Sunrise is a one-tract neighborhood of Jefferson, MD, population 2,727. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.2/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 43% 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.

Cost burden runs 59% against 17.7% citywide, putting Sunrise 41.3% over its own city. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 7.0% of adults, 10.8 points below the national rate. Only 10% 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 10% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,315, close to the Jefferson average.

One tract means one number: 3.2/10 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.
