Sycamore Creek Eviction Risk: Moderate

The voucher gap is 50.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 9.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10.

roughly one in four of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Aspen Hill rate of 33.7%. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

3.8% 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. That places it #8 of 8 neighborhoods in Aspen Hill.

Only 11% 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. For a like-for-like read, Allanwood and Aspen Knolls score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.

With little internal variation, 5.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
