Nob Hill maps to a single census tract in Ellicott City, MD, population 4,329. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 51% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Against a Ellicott City baseline of 32.3%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $3,501, 70% above the Ellicott City average of $2,061.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 78.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.7/10.
3.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Ellicott City, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third.
Only 21% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Worthington and Pine Orchard.
One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
