Bannockburn Heights maps to a single census tract in Bethesda, MD, population 4,295. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 45%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs roughly two in three against 28.7% citywide, putting Bannockburn Heights 38.2% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
At $3,501 a month, rents sit 42% over what the rest of Bethesda commands. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
Food insecurity affects 4.3% of adults, 13.5 points below the national rate. 2.6% 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.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. That places it #11 of 17 neighborhoods in Bethesda.
Only 13% 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.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
