The Pond is a one-tract neighborhood of Bel Air North, MD and houses 4,695 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 32.3% citywide, putting The Pond 14.5% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.7/10.
SNAP participation is 5.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.7% of adults, 10.1 points below the national rate. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Bel Air North, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. 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, Bynum and Stonehedge 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 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,537, close to the Bel Air North average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
