West Elkridge Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 27.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.

Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Average gross rent is $2,500, 9% above the Elkridge average of $2,295. That places it #4 of 4 neighborhoods in Elkridge. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, Harwood Park and Washington Manor Park score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $146,087.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
