Flamewood maps to a single census tract in Fulton, MD and houses 7,791 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Fulton baseline of 24.5%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 59.2%: 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. Disability prevalence reaches 15.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10.
3.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Only 14% 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. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $3,129, close to the Fulton average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
