Keywaydin maps to a single census tract in Ellicott City, MD and houses 5,741 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 43%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 63% against 32.3% citywide, putting Keywaydin 30.8% over its own city. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.7/10. Food insecurity affects 6.1% of adults, 11.7 points below the national rate.
The voucher gap is 15.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Disability prevalence reaches 18.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. At $2,259 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Ellicott City commands.
That places it #9 of 11 neighborhoods in Ellicott City. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Mount Hebron and Glenmont score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 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.
