Liberty Knolls Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,948 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Liberty Knolls maps to a single census tract in Libertytown, MD and houses 3,948 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in eight of renter households.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.6/10.

SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate.

Only 11% 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. Against average income of $110,742, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,393, close to the Libertytown average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 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.
