Woodspring Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,055 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3.1–3.1

Woodspring is a one-tract neighborhood of New Market, MD, population 5,055. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 50%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $2,515, 18% above the New Market average of $2,136.

Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.6/10. Disability prevalence reaches 19.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

Food insecurity affects 7.5% of adults, 10.3 points below the national rate. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 52% of renter households. At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Against average income of $161,316, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.1/10 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.
