Ellicott City Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. At $1,366 a month, rents run 34% under what the rest of Ellicott City commands.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. Against the Howard County average of 5.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Housing insecurity runs 5.6% against 14.2% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.0% against 11.3% nationally. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10.

Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $133,164, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
