Quail Ridge Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,823 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7/10 · range 7–7

Quail Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Elkridge, MD and houses 4,823 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 64% against 31.8% citywide, putting Quail Ridge 31.9% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,994, 13% below the Elkridge average of $2,295. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Elkridge.

For a like-for-like read, Washington Manor Park and Harwood Park score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $93,300.

41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
