Maplewood Eviction Risk: Moderate , Bethesda

Against Montgomery County at 46.7%, 61% of renters here are cost-burdened. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.2/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.5% against 31.5% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $191,220, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
