Haviland Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbia, MD and houses 5,613 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 83%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 83% against 27.9% citywide, putting Haviland Hills 54.7% over its own city. Average gross rent is $3,501, 71% above the Columbia average of $2,042. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 78.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
3.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10.
That places it #17 of 19 neighborhoods in Columbia. At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $221,313, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
