Mount Airy Village West Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,024 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Mount Airy Village West maps to a single census tract in Mount Airy, MD and houses 5,024 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 22% of renter households.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. At $2,364 a month, rents sit 28% over what the rest of Mount Airy commands. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.4/10.

Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. SNAP participation is 5.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate.

Only 6% 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. For a like-for-like read, Carroll Heights and Gilboa score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 17% 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.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
