Woodhaven Eviction Risk: Moderate

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.

Cost burden runs 39% against 28.7% citywide, putting Woodhaven 10.3% over its own city. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. 18% 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.

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. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. 4.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Bethesda, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third. 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. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
