Worthington is a one-tract neighborhood of Ellicott City, MD, population 6,020. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 56%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Ellicott City baseline of 32.3%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.7/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Disability prevalence reaches 19.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Ellicott City, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third.
At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Pine Orchard and Nob Hill score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
