· range 5.4–5.4
Huntington maps to a single census tract in Bethesda, MD, population 3,665. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 79% against 28.7% citywide, putting Huntington 50.7% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,872 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Bethesda commands.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. Disability prevalence reaches 17.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. 2.5% 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.
That places it #11 of 17 neighborhoods in Bethesda. Only 8% 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, Maplewood and Sumner score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
