Harlow maps to a single census tract in Darnestown, MD and houses 6,672 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 37% against 14.5% citywide, putting Harlow 22.4% over its own city.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 51.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.4/10. Food insecurity affects 6.0% of adults, 11.8 points below the national rate.
4.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $217,679, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $3,501, close to the Darnestown average.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 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.
