Colony Village maps to a single census tract in Walkersville, MD and houses 4,403 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,909, 29% above the Walkersville average of $1,481. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Against a Walkersville baseline of 28.5%, 32% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Only 19% 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. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $105,898.
One tract means one number: 4/10 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.
