Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs roughly two in three against 51.0% citywide, putting Sherwood Forest 14.5% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.

Food insecurity affects 8.1% of adults, 9.7 points below the national rate. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Colesville, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, East Springbrook and Rocky Brook Park 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.
Average gross rent runs $1,806, close to the Colesville average. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
