Huntington is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbia, MD, population 2,990. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 29% of renter households. 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.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. Food insecurity affects 7.0% of adults, 10.8 points below the national rate. 4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
At $1,893 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Columbia commands. Among the 19 mapped neighborhoods of Columbia, it ranks #13 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Woodleigh and Phelps Luck.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
