Pleasant Grove is a one-tract neighborhood of Monrovia, MD, population 6,905. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 22% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.8/10.
SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate. At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,968, close to the Monrovia average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
