North Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of North Laurel, MD and houses 4,467 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the North Laurel rate of 25.7%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.
10% 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. Average gross rent is $1,905, 6% below the North Laurel average of $2,031. That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in North Laurel.
For a like-for-like read, Canterbury Riding and High Ridge score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $106,250. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
