The Timbers maps to a single census tract in Edgewood, MD, population 8,210. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 50%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
81% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Edgewood rate of 36.4%. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,071, 22% below the Edgewood average of $1,375.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Edgewood.
Only 10% 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. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
