The Villages Of Urbana Bear Branch Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,016 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

The Villages Of Urbana Bear Branch is a one-tract neighborhood of Urbana, MD, population 4,016. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. Against a Urbana baseline of 23.4%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Disability prevalence reaches 17.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

The voucher gap is 11.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.

Only 21% 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, The Villages Of Urbana Ethan Ridge and The Villages Of Urbana Boxwood score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 18% 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.

Average gross rent runs $2,579, close to the Urbana average.

One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
