Fountain View takes in 2 census tracts of Clarksburg, MD, population 9,898. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. 29% 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.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Clarksburg rate of 30.6%. Disability prevalence reaches 17.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
The voucher gap is 14.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $2,649, 6% above the Clarksburg average of $2,495. At 5% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Clarksburg Heights and Hurley Ridge score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
