Park Summit spans 2 census tracts of Gaithersburg, MD and houses 10,277 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 29.5% citywide, putting Park Summit 12.3% over its own city.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6 to 7.1, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Disability prevalence reaches 17.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
At $2,336 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Gaithersburg commands. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Gaithersburg, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $117,889. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
