Talbott Springs is a 2-tract neighborhood of Columbia, MD and houses 13,549 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Columbia rate of 27.9%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.7/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10.
That places it #6 of 19 neighborhoods in Columbia. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $2,026, close to the Columbia average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $105,566.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 6.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
