Damascus Terrace maps to a single census tract in Damascus, MD and houses 2,397 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 38%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.6/10. SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little below the Damascus rate of 41.6%. Average gross rent is $1,606, 10% below the Damascus average of $1,792. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Damascus.
At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% 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: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
