Chapel Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,228 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Chapel Hills maps to a single census tract in Aberdeen, MD and houses 3,228 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. At $2,167 a month, rents sit 59% over what the rest of Aberdeen commands.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 38% against 31.6% citywide, putting Chapel Hills 6.7% over its own city. 15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate. The voucher gap is 10.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Aberdeen.

Only 20% 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, Robin Hood Manor and Braemar score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
