Hamlet North is a 4-tract neighborhood of Gaithersburg, MD and houses 20,319 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Gaithersburg baseline of 29.5%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3.6 to 7.3. A 3.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
That places it #16 of 15 neighborhoods in Gaithersburg. Only 21% 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 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $2,065, close to the Gaithersburg average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
