Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. It sits 0.7 points above the Howard County average of 5.3.

Average gross rent is $1,843, 11% below the Ellicott City average. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
