South Bel Air maps to a single census tract in Bel Air, MD, population 2,552. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, Moderate tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Bel Air rate of 34.1%.
29% 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. The main counterweight is housing-court posture, at 2.2/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.6/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.7/10.
At $1,677 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Bel Air commands. The closest comparables inside the same city are Howard Park and Harlan Square.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
