Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Quail Ridge

Against the Howard County average of 5.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. At $1,994 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Elkridge commands. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
