Gambrill South is a one-tract neighborhood of Middletown, MD and houses 4,400 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 19.7% citywide, putting Gambrill South 29.2% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,620, 11% below the Middletown average of $1,813. 5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Only 18% 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 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 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.
