Ivy Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Ellicott City, MD and houses 7,934 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs about half against 32.3% citywide, putting Ivy Hill 19.3% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.7/10.
At $1,843 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Ellicott City commands. That places it #1 of 11 neighborhoods in Ellicott City.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Chestnut Hill and Stonecrest Hills. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $72,490. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
